Presenting theories does not mean ‘solved.’
Theory and speculation about the Dyatlov case is a creative and scientific puzzle, one that will likely never be solved. Theories about the Dyatlov Pass incident have one thing in common. They assume there are things that haven’t been disclosed about the case. This indicates distrust in the official story and evidence released by the former Soviet Union. The families of the hikers Yuri Yudin, the tenth member of the Dyatlov group, disputes the idea of a natural disaster. Even scientific analysis of the case stirs debate and argument, like the slab and avalanche theories. As Gaume and Puzrin tell Nature, “Mysteries are more attractive while unsolved, or at least not solved with boring scientific explanation.”
