Mount Otorten was the destination of the Dyatlov group and lies 9 miles (15km) to the north of the Dyatlov Pass. It was also the point at which the search party led by Boris Slobsov was landed by helicopter on 25 February 1959 to see if the group had reached that point. When they found no traces of the group, Slobsov's search party started working their way back down the Auspia Valley to trace the route that Igor Dyatlov would have been expected to follow to reach Otorten.
I am grateful to Mikhail Petrov for the use of these photos.
