LA MOÑTANA MUERTA

Dead Mountain. The dead mountain.

In February 1959 a group of nine young mountaineers mysteriously died in a high area of the Russian Urals known as the Dead Mountain . The disturbing aspects of that event the unexplained injuries, the evidence that mountaineers tore through the walls of the tent where they slept and fled without proper clothing or footwear, the last and strange photograph that appeared on the camera of one of them, and the radiation measurements on some of his clothes have generated many speculations for decades about what really could have happened.

This exciting literary work on real events delves into the mystery, combining access, until now impossible, to the diaries and photographs of the protagonists (many of them translated and reproduced here) and to certain rarely consulted official records, along with dozens of interviews made and the author's personal reconstruction of the fateful journey of those boys in the Russian winter.

A riveting portrait of young Soviet-era mountaineers that masterfully weaves their stories, investigative efforts, and author's fact-finding into today's light, offering a new interpretation of what happened that night in the Dead Mountain.
