Researchers Don’t Claim to have Solved the Dyatlov Pass Mystery
Puzrin and Gaum do not investigate motives or post-evacuation events. Even if their theory of the “compelling natural event” is correct, it doesn’t fully solve the mystery of the Dyatlov Pass Incident. Their version of the “compelling natural event” has been scrutinized further by Dr. Vladimir Borzenkov of the Moscow State University of Aeronautics. He notes the sample site visited by the researchers, and where avalanche was observed, is 3 km (1.8 miles) from the Dyatlov site. This is far enough for conditions to be slightly different. He argues, point by point, the Puzrin and Gaum theory. Borzenkov provides a critical analysis of their research methods and findings. Like every other Dyatlov Incident theory, there are arguments that poke holes in the research. This scientific debate and discussion is good for critical thinking and analysis. But this is also why the case will never be absolutely solved.
