Montauk Yacht Club

A luxury resort on Lake Montauk offering spacious rooms, elevated amenities, full-service dining and a year-round opulent vacation vibe.

Time Out says

Located on The Hamptons’ largest marina, Montauk Yacht Club is a full-service resort just minutes from downtown Montauk. The most expensive property sale in Hamptons history, the renovated resort opened in 2023 with 107 modern yet nautical guest rooms, plus 22 standalone villas. Showfish, the property’s signature restaurant, serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, and Il Forno offers Neapolitan-style pizzas to enjoy by the pool. A second more quiet pool, plus an indoor pool are also onsite, as is a quiet swimming beach on Lake Montauk. 

The entire waterfront property is dog- and family-friendly, with attentive service and amenities including paddleboards and kayaks, free cruises on the property’s electric yacht, and more – all with no resort fee. Outdoor sofas, dock chairs and loungers are ample across the hotel, so there are plenty of spaces to lounge, relax with a book (or smartphone, WiFi is strong), order a spritz and unwind. The crowd ranges from city and suburban weekenders to local folks who park their boats (yachts) on-site, with notorious late-night parties raging when Showfish transitions to club mode with a DJ. Don’t worry: the guest rooms are far enough away if you want a quiet, good night’s sleep, or if you just want to conveniently roll into bed at 4am.

Neighborhood

Located on Star Island on Lake Montauk, Montauk Yacht Club is at the edge of the East End hamlet, and a resort neighborhood within itself. That is, you don’t have to leave once you check in, and if you arrive by or have access to a boat, you can travel by water to local restaurants, beaches and more. Secluded from the summertime chaos of Montauk proper, but close enough to all the hubbub, Montauk Yacht Club is a getaway within a vacation town. 

Ditch Plains Beach:  Montauk’s famous surf beach is a top spot to sink your toes in the sand, catch a wave or watch the pros board in the Atlantic. Grab a bite from the popular food truck Ditch Witch and enjoy the scenic oceanfront views. 

Fisher’s Montauk :  Opened in summer 2023, this year-round Scandinavian restaurant melds Montauk ingredients and style with Nordic flavors in a stylish dining room and romantic backyard. Visit for grilled langoustines with herb butter, crispy cod with egg salad, natural wines and more. 

Surf Lodge :  For a fun night out, head to this luxe renovated motel which boasts an on-site beach to lounge on, plus a stage for live music. A full bar, small bites, and even a vegan lobster roll are served if you’re out for a casual hang, or sit down at the indoor-outdoor restaurant for a full meal after a show. 

Time Out Tip

Every day brings special complimentary activities to Montauk Yacht Club, so keep an eye on the resort agenda for free rosé and oyster happy hours, exercise classes, tasting events, boat tours and more.  

Been there, done that? Think again, my friend.

MONTAUK YACHT CLUB RETURNS AS THE EPITOME OF LUXURY AND ADVENTURE IN THE HAMPTONS

The moment you arrive at Montauk Yacht Club’s breathtaking property, you are transported into a realm of luxury and sophistication. Perched on Star Island Road, just 10 minutes from lively downtown Montauk, the resort offers the largest marina in the Hamptons with a first-class 219-slip marina that can accommodate vessels up to 300 feet. The glamorous ambiance and intoxicatingly beautiful seaside setting creates a spectacular resort destination for summer getaways, private events, and yachting.

In July of 2022, Safe Harbor Marinas acquired Gurney’s Star Island Resort & Marina. After nine months of investment and preparation, the company announced the official reopening of the storied property this spring and began welcoming guest to the resort’s world-class waterfront hospitality.

“The history of Montauk Yacht Club is as rich as the location is stunning. Our teammates in Montauk and throughout the country have been working to prepare for this moment. It is our great honor and joy to bring the Montauk Yacht Club back to Long Island, to her many patrons, and to our tens of thousands of boating families in the region,” said Baxter Underwood, CEO of Safe Harbor Marina.

After hearing the great buzz about the newly opened resort, I was eager to visit and experience the property for myself. Upon arrival, my traveling companion and I were shown to our elegant room, a Water View King overlooking the Montauk Yacht Club’s private beach. Our personal deck offered expansive views of Lake Montauk and a sense of tranquility. Spread out across the 35 acre property, the resort offers a total of 107 rooms and villa suites designed as peaceful waterside retreats. The welcoming and modern space was decorated with touches of white, navy and natural wood. The expansive bathroom offered a large and inviting shower and a spacious vanity to enjoy while primping for the day’s adventures.

After dropping off our luggage, we were ready to explore the picturesque property. The pathway outside our room led to one of the resort’s three inviting pools located at the center of the picturesque grounds. Next to it, the lively Pool Club Bar provided one of the most sensational settings in the Hamptons to enjoy excellent cocktails while admiring views of the marina.

That evening, we had the pleasure of dining at Showfish, Montauk Yacht Club’s celebrated fine dining restaurant. Focused only on the freshest locally-sourced ingredients, Showfish presents a unique take on east-end dining that embraces fresh fish, farm-to-table vegetables, and unique culinary concoctions cooked to serve in a stunning seaside setting.

Executive Chef Matt Murphy came to Showfish from the renowned Shelter Island Ram’s Head Inn. Previously, he held sous chef positions at the Ritz Carlton, the Rainbow Room, the Russian Tea Room, and executive chef positions at the Centerport Yacht Club and the famed La Colombe D’or.

We enjoyed the Tuna Tartare and Burratina, followed by the Butter Poached Lobster and the Montauk Cod served with Japanese turnips, yuzu beurre blanc, smoked trout roe, and pine nuts. For dessert, the Chocolate Temptation made with chocolate cake and cream was excellent. While enjoying our outstanding meal, it was beautiful to watch the moon go in and out of clouds above the resort’s lighthouse.

After dinner, I highly recommend grabbing a drink from Showfish’s indoor bar and taking it outside where you can lounge at your own private fire pit while admiring the night sky filled with stars.

In the morning, it felt like we were in our own slice of paradise as we opened the curtains to our room and saw a swan standing on the hotel’s private beach by the edge of the still waters of Lake Montauk. The resort’s second restaurant, Il Forno serves award-winning pizza in the afternoons and evenings. For breakfast, the casual eatery is the prefect place to pick up Jack’s Coffee and delicious pastries delivered from Montauk Bake Shoppe.

While staying at Montauk Yacht Club, there are  countless activities to fill your stay with relaxation and adventure. From indulging in the soothing private beach, to relaxing by the poolside, playing pickleball on two courts, exploring the town with complimentary bikes, and enjoying kayaking and fitness classes. Guests are also offered a complimentary one hour cruise on one of the resort’s X Shore all-electric yachts. We absolutely loved this excursion and highly recommend speaking with the concierge about this truly memorable experience.

If you crave something sweet, A La Mode Ice Cream Shop serves tasty waffle cones with all nut-free flavors and vegan options. I recommend Cooks (a combination of vanilla and chocolate cookies, chocolate vanilla ice cream, and chocolate fudge) and Partly Cloudy (blue cotton candy ice cream with mini marshmallows).

Before you leave, definitely stop by the Montauk Yacht Club’s thoughtfully curated gift shop which sells fashion & accessories, as well as, stylish t-shirts, water bottles, and sweatshirts with the yacht club’s eye-catching logo.

The new Montauk Yacht Club is a resounding success. Since the property reopened its doors, Safe Harbor Montauk Yacht Club has been named a “Top Ten marina destination in North America, Mexico, and the Bahamas” by Yachting Magazine. There is no other place in the Hamptons that so beautifully marries hospitality with the world of yachting.

The Hamptons’ Largest Marina Gets a Luxury Refresh

Re-opened in June under the management of Proper Hospitality, the property blends Montauk’s classic charm with modern luxury.  

By Grace Taylor

Montauk Yacht Club has undergone an extensive multi-million dollar revamp, bringing a brand new dining concept and standout amenities to the beloved seaside marina and resort. Re-opened in June under the management of Proper Hospitality, as part of The Collective, a portfolio of independent, design-driven hotels, the property blends Montauk’s classic charm with modern luxury.  

At the heart of this rejuvenation is Ocean Club Montauk, Montauk Yacht Club’s newly unveiled dining experience. Led by South African Chef Jarad McCarroll, previously of Chiltern Firehouse and The Ritz London, the restaurant draws inspiration from his St Barth’s location. The 220-seat venue features the largest open kitchen in the Hamptons , where guests can enjoy freshly caught seafood, local produce, a raw bar and select Braai dishes – a traditional method of South African grilling.

Chilled lobster gazpacho and seabass tartare make for light seafront bites, or for something a little heartier, opt for the wood-fired Picanha steak (cooked for over six hours) and add a side of hand-cut fries. The drink menu complements these dishes with coastal classics and seasonal specials. Enjoying the Montauk sunset with an Aperol Spritz topped with Balsam Farm strawberries made for a memorable evening. Guests can choose to dine inside the white-and-wood-paneled restaurant or on the deck with stunning views over the marina. 

This year, Montauk Yacht Club also introduces an indulgent new chapter with the arrival of La Prairie’s first season-long spa offering in the Hamptons. Housed on an elegant white-and-blue floating spa, the Swiss skincare house brings its luxurious treatments to the marina, allowing guests, visitors, and locals alike to be pampered by the gentle sway of the water. Showcasing both their Skin Caviar and Platinum Rare Collections, the spa hosts property-exclusive treatments such as the Caviar resculpting eye lift, featuring the new Skin Caviar the Mist, while being gently rocked by the ripples of the water.

For those eager to explore beyond the marina, Montauk Yacht Club offers an exclusive ‘House Fleet’ of electric X-Shore boats. Whether you need a quick ride to Montauk airport to catch a jet or helicopter back to the city (the property has a partnership with Blade ), want to arrive in style to famed seafood hotspots such as Duryea’s, or simply wish to enjoy a peaceful sunset cruise (Summer Sangria in hand), these sleek, virtually silent vessels provide a unique way to experience the beauty and tranquility of Montauk.

The luxury hotel’s common spaces, outdoor facilities, rooms and suites have also been refreshed, ensuring that guests of the property and marina have everything they need and want right at their fingertips. An all-day to-go cafe, boutique (think Fendi sunglasses and waterproof yachting gear) and 24-hour gym cater to the needs of those parked in the marina. If you’re entertaining or unwinding with friends, the new and improved adults-only Ocean Club Pool and its seafront outdoor bar offer a relaxed, inviting atmosphere. Electric Moke cars are also available for trips to local beaches or ventures into town, while complimentary Linus bikes provide a leisurely way to explore the area. For families, there’s the Great Lawn Pool and a private beach, as well as a range of sporting activities such as tennis and padel.

The 107-key luxury seaside resort and marina has over 200 wet slips that can accommodate boats from small day cruisers to 300-foot superyachts. Montauk Yacht Club’s operations continue into November, for guests who prefer to visit during the region’s more peaceful months.

Montauk Yacht Club- not just a boater’s paradise…

August 2, 2016 montauksun_admin Montauk Columns 0

A part of the Montauk community for over 80 years, The Montauk Yacht Club was built in 1928 by Carl Fisher when he dreamed his dream of Montauk becoming a seaside resort for the rich and famous. A few of the original members included the Astors, Whitneys and Vanderbuilts. Lindenburgh visited via his sea plane, and the Villas were once part of an estate owned by Ziegfield. Today the property includes: 106 Guest Rooms including 23 Villas and 2 Suites, as well as an Award Winning Marina, two restaurants and lounges, meeting and event Facilities,  a Spa and fitness center, Tennis Courts, a heated indoor and two outdoor pools, Sail Montauk Sailing School, Charter Fishing, Surf and Paddleboard instruction as well as other watersports and games courts, a children’s Playground and game room, and complimentary bicycles or a shuttle to explore Montauk.

Need a little pampering? The full-service Montauk spa pampers guests with soothing massages and facials as well as body wraps and nail services. Ease tired muscles after a sailing excursion or a day on the beach with a deep tissue massage or treat yourself to a mani/pedi before a night on the town. Spa packages and gift cards are available, in addition to hosting private spa events and outcalls. To reserve an appointment at Spa MYC call 631.483.5555.

If you’re the adventurous type book a full or half day fishing trip on one of the many charter boats available at the Marina. Head out with the experienced, knowledgeable captain and try your skill at catching fluke, sea bass, striped bass…

Is sailing your pleasure, or have you always wanted to try it? Sail Montauk is also located at the MYC Marina offering a variety of sailing opportunities. Their sailing trips are hands on, allowing you to do as much or as little as you please. Take the tiller or sit back and relax with a cool beverage in hand. Enjoy a romantic sunset sail for two, or register for a private lesson and learn how to handle a Catalina 22. Festive Flotilla Boat Parties ideal for large families, corporate events and even bachelorette parties are also available.  Or call for Private sailing lessons for every level, along with Basic Keelboat Sailing and ASA certification courses. Sail Montauk is located at slip 412 in the Montauk Yacht Club Marina. For more information about sailing in Montauk, call us at 631.522.5183 or visit  www.sailmontauk.com .

Obviously a visit to the Yacht Club has something for everyone. In addition to the lovely grounds and amenities their dining areas offer delicious choices for breakfast, lunch and dinner, or even a drink and a snack out at the bar, by the pool overlooking the marina.

The Coast Kitchen is a nautical Hampton casual style indoor dining area with a spectacular view of the grounds and marina. New Executive Chef Paul O’Shea has designed a southern influenced menu with farm to table, local seafood and organic themes. Working from his own fresh herb garden the dishes are bursting with fresh herbal flavors bringing forth the individual tastes of the fish, pasta, or beef creations.

On the evening of our visit, we shared a number of dishes that had a unique, creative spin utilizing local produce and seafood. The Jalapeno Ice Cream that accompanies the Lump Crab Cake with Fig and Sriracha Aioli is spicy yet a perfect accent for the crab. Spiced Tuna with MTK Beer glaze, pickled ginger onion, and sea lettuce was tender and perfectly seared. The Adobo Beef Carpaccio looks as delectable as it tastes and was the final starter we enjoyed; Seared Angus Tenderloin layered with avocado, red onion, chives and Citrus White Truffle Aioli made for a delicate dish.

Offering four different and creative local produce salads, we chose the Organic Roasted Beets served atop a bed of goat cheese and drizzled with aged balsamic. The freshness of the sweet beets made this salad delicious.

As we enjoyed the starters and the lovely view of the Harbor at night through the glass doors of the dining room we sipped on a few of their Specialty Cocktail creations. The Ginger Gimlet, Elderflower Sprits, The Guppie, and the Boaters Boulvadier each combines a variety of ingredients resulting in tasty flavorful drinks.  In addition to the specialty cocktails, they offer a complete list of wines by the glass and/or bottle, and beer.

For dinner we tried to hit a variety of fare to get a true sampling of the menu. The Pappardelle with an added sautéed Softshell Crab was our pasta choice and it did not disappoint. With braised Portabella and Shitake mushrooms, spinach, roast pepper, chive and tossed with a slightly thick yet not heavy garlic cream sauce this dish was amazing.

Charred New York Strip Steak cooked perfectly to order in a Cabernet Demi and Chimichurri drizzle, and surrounded by a lovely array of roasted Brussel Sprouts, Heirloom Carrots and chunky White Truffle Cheddar Mashed Potatoes is a steak lovers treat. For the seafood enthusiast, the menu offers five choices each sounding absolutely delicious. After some debate, we decided on the Tilefish Pomodoro and the Yacht Club Shark – what great choices they were.  Herb seared, light, flaky and perched on Risotto with garlic tomato basil sauce and a side of asparagus, the Tilefish Pomodoro is spectacular. As is the Mako which is seasoned and gently charred and served with pineapple ginger curry over leafy greens and soba noodles; an excellent combination of flavors.

The entire staff including our waiter Fatlind and the restaurant manager James were accommodating and friendly, while their new Executive Chef Paul O’Shea certainly created us a lovely meal.  O’Shea was born in Dublin, Ireland and also attended culinary school there. He has years of experience including restaurants in London, as a private chef in Beverly Hills, and all over the USA working many convention centers and opening numerous restaurants. He is thrilled to be in Montauk and working with a great team of chefs here at the Montauk Yacht Club.

In addition to the Coast Kitchen the outdoor dining area The Alley and the Deck offers a bit more casual cuisine and setting. Looking for a hearty breakfast before setting out for your day’s adventure or an afternoon snack or lunch this laid-back indoor/outdoor location is perfect. The friendly MTK restaurant specializes in home-style cooking for breakfast, all-day lunch, and dinner.

The coastal elegance of this property makes it ideal for Conferences and Special Events, as well as for a picture-perfect Wedding.  For more information visit:

How to Spend a Perfect Weekend in Montauk

Nestled on the East End of Long Island’s South Fork, this idyllic coastal hamlet quietly draws celebrities and New York City elites seeking refuge from the summer heat of the concrete jungle. Editors Britney Eschelman and Megan Shelton have scouted the best places to stay, eat, drink, and explore in Montauk for the perfect weekend escape. Pro tip: while it’s a summer hotspot, this trendy destination might be even better in the fall.

Where to Stay:

Montauk Yacht Club

Following a multi-million dollar renovation, a stay at this 107-key seaside resort and marina is highly coveted. Set on 16 sprawling acres, the resort boasts two pools, various sports courts, and exclusive electric X-Shore boats for sunset cruises and local excursions. The new Ocean Club Montauk restaurant, led by Chef Jarad McCarroll, offers an elevated dining experience focused on fresh-caught seafood and seasonal East Coast ingredients. 

Marram Montauk

Marram Montauk is as in-vogue as boutique hotels get, embodying a sense of upscale barefoot luxury both inside and out. The 96 guest rooms and suites, styled with warm jute rugs, airy duvets, and a neutral-toned palette, offer a serene backdrop that complements the area’s natural, seaside beauty. Just a short walk from Shadmoor State Park, the hotel provides easy access to some of the most breathtaking, uninterrupted views of Montauk’s coastline.

Gurney’s Resort

A Hamptons staple, Gurney’s Montauk Resort & Seawater Spa features 158 rooms overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, offering guests the ultimate coastal escape. Its 2,000-foot private beach club, which shared a collaboration with Dolce & Gabbana to create the designer brand’s first luxury high-fashion beach oasis this summer, invites relaxation with lounge daybeds and cabanas. Guests can unwind in the sand while enjoying the rhythmic beats of live DJ sets in the background. Afterward, they can unwind further at The Seawater Spa, indulging in holistic, marine-based treatments.

Where to Eat:

Duryea’s  

Wondering what Duryea’s vibe is? Think effortlessly chic, fueled by long, lazy, rosé-filled days and nights. This isn’t your typical laid-back, waterfront crab shack—it’s an elevated beach eatery where being a bit overdressed is never frowned upon. If you’ve seen their iconic—and massive—Duryea’s Lobster Cobb Salad pop up on your Instagram feed, then you’re definitely in the know of where to see and be seen in Montauk.

Since opening earlier this year, N’AMO has quickly become Montauk’s must-visit hotspot for top-tier entertainment and fresh, locally sourced seafood. In the heart of Montauk’s fishing village, N’AMO’s menu showcases contemporary takes on East Coast seafood. With lively DJ sets and reggae nights, the restaurant offers a vibrant atmosphere that keeps guests returning for more unforgettable evenings. 

Where to Drink:

Those who’ve spent any time on “The End of the World” (or watched Bravo’s Summer House) know that Surf Lodge is the ultimate place to see and be seen in Montauk. Start the night early with light bites and crushable cocktails at the recently unveiled culinary concept, Casa Sereña–it makes transitioning over to The Deck for the evening’s live performance that much easier (though it is necessary to purchase tickets in advance on top of the reservation). As the sun sets, the buzzy musical guest takes the stage. Dance the night away right on The Deck and along their private beachfront.

Placēbō (at Ruschmeyer’s)

Helmed by Chef Sandy Dee Hall, Placēbō fuses New York City energy and Puerto Rican flavors. The menu features American dishes with a Latin flair such as Wagyu Risotto Paella and Scallop Pot Pie. Designed by Lymarie Bried Fuentes, the restaurant’s tropical décor transports guests to Puerto Rico’s El Yunque National Forest. 

Where to Visit:

Montauk Point Lighthouse

Perched at the easternmost point of Long Island, Montauk Point Lighthouse offers breathtaking 360º views of the Atlantic Ocean and Block Island Sound. Commissioned by President George Washington in 1792, this iconic touchstone is the oldest lighthouse in the state of New York and the fourth-oldest active lighthouse in the United States.

Workshop at yacht club stresses mariner safety during wind farm construction

Fishing report.

“We don’t like seeing pylons and turbines in our ocean, but if built responsibly, it is better than burning coal or other fossil fuels to generate electricity,” Kristen Smith stated during Wednesday night’s mariner safety workshop at the Wickford Yacht Club in North Kingstown. 

Smith, her husband, Matthew, and about 25 other members of the Wickford Yacht Club were at the mariner safety workshop conducted by the Better Bay Alliance and wind farm developer Ørsted. The Danish company will be laying cable from their Revolution Wind project offshore up the West Passage of Narragansett Bay, under the Jamestown Bridge to Quonset Point. The purpose of the meeting was to alert mariners about the project, specifically when and where construction activities will be occurring.

Winnie Hagen, the Wickford Yacht Club's seminar organizer, kicked off the meeting by welcoming members and guests: “This workshop is part of a continuing series of educational and informative seminars we will be conducting for members.” 

She then handed the meeting over to David Lussier, president of the Better Bay Alliance. “We are not for offshore wind, or against offshore wind," Lussier said, "but merely here to promote mariner safety on the Bay. And to share our new website software called Live Chart that allows mariners to track all kinds of boating activities on the Bay, including construction projects like this one.”  Visit https://betterbayalliance.org/live-chart-better-bay-alliance/ for Live Chart.

Claire Hobson and Ross Pearsall of Ørsted’s Marine Affairs Division shared highlights of the Revolution Wind project, specifically the West Passage cable installation project, which will be conducted this fall and winter.

Changes to Local Notice to Mariners and Light Lists

The U.S. Coast Guard Navigation Center announced this week upcoming changes to the Local Notice to Mariners, or LNM, and the Light List, as part of its efforts to modernize and improve the accessibility, accuracy and overall user experience for mariners and other stakeholders.

The LNM and the Light List are used to relate current navigational changes and important navigational notices.

The Coast Guard plans to transition from using NOAA Paper Chart Numbers, editions and dates for disseminating Marketing Safety Information to using Official Waterway Names. The LNM and Light List data will be available in a geospatial format, which will allow users to visualize information interactively on a chart.

The transition to the modernized LNM and Light List platform (the Navigation Center website) will be completed by Monday, Sept. 30.  Visit the Navigation Center at Home | Navigation Center (uscg.gov) .

Where’s the bite?

Striped bass, bluefish, bonito .  “The striped bass bite has been hit or miss from shore with metal lures [that mimic mullet] and bucktails working," said Steven Orefice of Watch Hill Outfitters in Westerly. "The bonito bite continues to be strong, too.” Oliver Zannini of Quaker Lane Bait & Tackle in North Kingstown reported: “Customers haven’t been getting out much this week with rough seas but those fishing are catching some striped bass and bluefish in Narragansett Bay as well as along the coastal shore.” Declan O’Donnell of Breachway Bait & Tackle in Charlestown said: “The fall striped bass season is off to a great start, some great nights and mornings across the south shore. The amount of bait is off the charts and a great mix of sizes for bass. From 10-inch school striped bass up to 40-inch fish. Bonito are still plentiful popping up very randomly.” "East End" Eddie Doherty, Cape Cod Canal fishing expert and author, reported: “Fish continue to devour bait in preparation for the southern migration. I caught a fat fish that I eyeballed to be about 27 inches, but the expanded girth caused the optical illusion of a shorter length, which really measured out to 30 inches." 

Fluke (summer flounder), black sea bass, scup and cod.  The black sea bass bite is still good, however, the summer flounder (fluke) bite is starting to fade. Angler Kevin Fetzer of East Greenwich fished with Joe Klinger of South Kingstown at Austin Hollow off Jamestown and boated a 24-inch, 5.2-pound fluke. “All the other fish we caught were undersized, including several fluke, scup and black sea bass," Fetzer said. “Fluke and seabass fishing is starting to taper off,” O’Donnell said. “Black sea bass and scup fishing continues to be outstanding along the southern coastal shore," Orefice said. "And a big treat this month — anglers are catching keeper cod fish on rock piles and wrecks close to shore.”

Tautog fishing is hit or miss for anglers.  Those finding fish seem to be in lower water where there is water movement.

Tuna. Tuna fishing continues to be good. “The bite south of Block Island and Montauk is good with anglers hooking up with 60-inch school bluefin tuna jigging and chucking,” Orefice reported.

Dave Monti holds a master captain’s license and charter fishing license. He serves on a variety of boards and commissions and has a consulting business that focuses on clean oceans, habitat preservation, conservation, renewable energy and fisheries related issues and clients.

The Dyatlov Pass Incident

What is the Dyatlov Pass incident? Well, as we’ll find out, it was when nine Russian hikers died in the northern Ural Mountains between February 1st & 2nd in 1959, under supposed uncertain circumstances. The experienced trekking group, who were all from the Ural Polytechnical Institute , had established a camp on the slopes of Kholat Syakhl , in an area now named in honour of the group's leader, Igor Dyatlov. During the night, something caused them to cut their way out of their tent and attempt to flee the campsite while not being dressed for the heavy ass snowfall and subzero temperatures. Subzero was one of my favorite Mortal Kombat characters… god I loved that game.

After the group's bodies were grusomly discovered, an investigation by Soviet authorities determined that six of them had died from hypothermia while the other three had been killed by physical trauma . One victim actually had major skull damage, two had severe chest trauma, and another had a small crack in the skull . Was all of this caused by an avalanche or from something nefarious? Four of the bodies were found lying in running water in a creek, and three of these had soft tissue damage of the head and face – two of the bodies were missing their eyes, one was missing its tongue, and one was missing its eyebrows. It’s eyebrows! The Soviet investigation concluded that a "compelling natural force" had caused the untimely deaths. Numerous theories have been brought forward to account for the unexplained deaths, including animal attacks, hypothermia, avalanche , katabatic winds , infrasound -induced panic, military involvement, or some combination of these. We’ll discuss all these in further detail later on.

Recently, Russia has opened a new investigation into the Dyatlov incident in 2019, and its conclusions were presented in July 2020: Simply put, they believe that an avalanche had led to the deaths of the hikers. Survivors of the avalanche had been forced to suddenly leave their camp in low visibility conditions with inadequate clothing, and had died of hypothermia. Andrey Kuryakov, deputy head of the regional prosecutor's office, said: "It was a heroic struggle. There was no panic. But they had no chance to save themselves under the circumstances." A study published in 2021 suggested that a type of avalanche known as a slab avalanche could explain some of the injuries. However, we’ll run through everything and you can come to your own conclusion.

Ok, let’s dive into the details of the event.

In 1959, the group was formed for a skiing expedition across the northern Urals in Sverdlovsk Oblast, Soviet Union. According to Prosecutor Tempalov, documents that were found in the tent of the expedition suggest that the expedition was named for the 21st Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, and was possibly dispatched by the local Komsomol organisation.Which was a political youth organization in the Soviet Union , which was sometimes described as the youth division of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union . Igor Dyatlov, a 23-year-old radio engineering student at the Ural Polytechnical Institute; now Ural Federal University, was the leader who assembled a group of nine others for the trip, most of whom were fellow students and peers at the university.Ok, so they were mostly students. Each member of the group, which consisted of eight men and two women, was an experienced Grade II-hiker with ski tour experience, and would be receiving Grade III certification upon their return. So, this trekk was like a test. I hated tests. Especially ones that could KILL YOU! At the time, this was the highest certification available in the Soviet Union, and required candidates to traverse 190 mi. The route was designed by Igor Dyatlov's group in order to reach the far northern regions of Sverdlovsk Oblast and the upper-streams of the Lozva river. The route was approved by the Sverdlovsk city route commission, which was a division of the Sverdlovsk Committee of Physical Culture and Sport. They approved of and confirmed the group of 10 people on January 8th, 1959. The goal of the expedition was to reach Otorten, a mountain(6.2 mi north of the site where the incident took place. This path, taken in February, was estimated as a Category III, the most difficult time to traverse.

On January 23rd, 1959 the Dyatlov group was issued their route book which listed their course as following the No.5 trail. At that time, the Sverdlovsk City Committee of Physical Culture and Sport listed approval for 11 people. The 11th person was listed as Semyon Zolotaryov who was previously certified to go with another expedition of similar difficulty (that was the Sogrin expedition group). The Dyatlov group left the Sverdlovsk city (today called Yekaterinburg) on the same day they received the route book.

The members of the group were Igor Alekseyevich Dyatlov, Yuri Nikolayevich Doroshenko, Lyudmila Alexandrovna Dubinina, Georgiy (Yuri) Alexeyevich Krivonischenko, Alexander Sergeyevich Kolevatov, Zinaida Alekseevna Kolmogorova, Rustem Vladimirovich Slobodin, Nikolai Vladimirovich Thibeaux-Brignolles, Semyon (Alexander) Alekseevich Zolotaryov, and Yuri Yefimovich Yudin

The group arrived by train at Ivdel , a town at the centre of the northern province of Sverdlovsk Oblast in the early morning hours of January 25, 1959. They took a truck to Vizhai, a little village that is the last inhabited settlement to the north. As of 2010, only 207 really, really fucking cold people lived there. While spending the night in Vizhai, and probably freezing their baguettes off, the skiers purchased and ate loaves of bread to keep their energy levels up for the following day's hike.

On January 27, they began their trek toward Gora Otorten. On January 28, one member, Yuri Yudin, who suffered from several health ailments (including rheumatism and a congenital heart defect ) turned back due to knee and joint pain that made him unable to continue the hike. The remaining nine hikers continued the trek. Ok, my first question with this is, why in the fuck was that guy there, to begin with??

Diaries and cameras found around their last campsite made it possible to track the group's route up to the day before the incident. On January 31st, the group arrived at the edge of a highland area and began to prepare for climbing. In a wooded valley, they rounded up surplus food and equipment that they would use for the trip back. The next day, the hikers started to move through the pass. It seems they planned to get over the pass and make camp for the next night on the opposite side, but because of worsening weather conditions—like snowstorms, decreasing visibility... large piles of yeti shit—they lost their direction and headed west, toward the top of Kholat Syakhl . When they realised their mistake, the group decided to set up camp there on the slope of the mountain, rather than move almost a mile downhill to a forested area that would have offered some shelter from the weather. Yudin, the debilitated goofball that shouldn’t have even been there speculated, "Dyatlov probably did not want to lose the altitude they had gained, or he decided to practice camping on the mountain slope."

Before leaving, Captain Dyatlov had agreed he would send a telegram to their sports club as soon as the group returned to teeny, tiny Vizhai. It was expected that this would happen no later than February 12th, but Dyatlov had told Yudin, before he departed from the group, that he expected it to actually be longer. When the 12th passed and no messages had been received, there was no immediate reaction because, ya know… fuck it. Just kidding, these types of delays were actually common with such expeditions. On February 20th, the travellers' worried relatives demanded a rescue operation and the head of the institute sent the first rescue groups, consisting of volunteer students and teachers. Later, the army and militsiya forces (aka the Soviet police) became involved, with planes and helicopters ordered to join in on the search party.

On February 26th, the searchers found the group's abandoned and super fucked up tent on Kholat Syakhl . The campsite undoubtedly baffled the search party. Mikhail Sharavin, the student who found the tent, said “HOLY SHIT! THIS PLACE IS FUCKED UP!”... No, that’s not true. He actually said, "the tent was half torn down and covered with snow. It was empty, and all the group's belongings and shoes had been left behind." Investigators said the tent had been cut open from inside. Which seems like a serious and quick escape route was needed. Nine sets of footprints, left by people wearing only socks or a single shoe or even barefoot, could actually be followed, leading down to the edge of a nearby wood, on the opposite side of the pass, about a mile to the north-east. After approximately 1,600 ft, these tracks were covered with snow. At the forest's edge, under a large Siberian pine , the searchers found the visible remains of a small fire. There were the first two bodies, those of Krivonischenko and Doroshenko, shoeless and dressed only in their tighty whiteys. The branches on the tree were broken up to five meters high, suggesting that one of the skiers had climbed up to look for something, maybe the camp. Between the pine and the camp, the searchers found three more corpses: Dyatlov, Kolmogorova, and Slobodin, who died in poses suggesting that they were attempting to return to the tent. They were found at distances of 980, 1,570, and 2,070 ft from the tree.

Finding the remaining four travellers took more than two frigging months. They were finally found on May 4th under 13 ft of snow in a ravine 246 ft further into the woods from the pine tree. Three of the four were better dressed than the others, and there were signs that some clothing of those who had died first had been taken off of their corpses for use by the others. Dubinina was wearing Krivonishenko's burned, torn trousers, and her left foot and shin were wrapped in a torn jacket.

Let’s get into the investigation. A legal inquest started immediately after the first five bodies were found. A medical examination found no injuries that might have led to their deaths, and it was concluded that they had all died of hypothermia .Which would make sense because it was colder than a polar bear’s butthole. Slobodin had a small crack in his skull, but it was not thought to be a fatal wound.

An examination of the four bodies found in May shifted the overall narrative of what they initially believed transpired. Three of the hikers had fatal injuries: Thibeaux-Brignolles had major skull damage, and Dubinina and Zolotaryov had major chest fractures. According to Boris Vozrozhdenny, the force required to cause such damage would have been extremely high, comparable to that of a car crash.Also, the bodies had no external wounds associated with the bone fractures, as if they had been subjected to a high level of pressure.

All four bodies found at the bottom of the creek in a running stream of water had soft tissue damage to their head and face. For example, Dubinina was missing her tongue, eyes, part of the lips, as well as facial tissue and a fragment of her skullbone, while Zolotaryov was missing his friggin eyeballs, and Aleksander Kolevatov his eyebrows. V. A. Vozrozhdenny, the forensic expert performing the post-mortem examination , judged that these injuries happened after they had died, due to the location of the bodies in a stream.

At first, there was speculation that the indigenous Mansi people , who were just simple reindeer herders local to the area, had attacked and murdered the group for making fun of Rudolph. Several Mansi were interrogated, but the investigation indicated that the nature of the deaths did not support this hypothesis: only the hikers' footprints were visible, and they showed no sign of hand-to-hand struggle. Oh, I was kidding about the Rudolph thing. They thought they attacked the hikers for being on their land.

Although the temperature was very low, around −13 to −22 °F with a storm blowing, the dead were only partially dressed, as I mentioned.

Journalists reporting on the available parts of the inquest files claim that it states:

Six of the group members died of hypothermia and three of fatal injuries.

There were no indications of other people nearby on Kholat Syakhl apart from the nine travellers.

The tent had been ripped open from within.

The victims had died six to eight hours after their last meal.

Traces from the camp showed that all group members left the campsite of their own accord, on foot.

Some levels of radiation were found on one victim's clothing.

To dispel the theory of an attack by the indigenous Mansi people, Vozrozhdenny stated that the fatal injuries of the three bodies could not have been caused by human beings, "because the force of the blows had been too strong and no soft tissue had been damaged".

Released documents contained no information about the condition of the skiers' internal organs.

And most obviously, There were no survivors.

At the time, the official conclusion was that the group members had died because of a compelling natural force.The inquest officially ceased in May 1959 as a result of the absence of a guilty party. The files were sent to a secret archive.

In 1997, it was revealed that the negatives from Krivonischenko's camera were kept in the private archive of one of the investigators, Lev Ivanov. The film material was donated by Ivanov's daughter to the Dyatlov Foundation. The diaries of the hiking party fell into Russia's public domain in 2009.

On April 12th, 2018, Zolotarev's remains were exhumed on the initiative of journalists of the Russian tabloid newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda . Contradictory results were obtained: one of the experts said that the character of the injuries resembled a person knocked down by a car, and the DNA analysis did not reveal any similarity to the DNA of living relatives. In addition, it turned out that Zolotarev's name was not on the list of those buried at the Ivanovskoye cemetery. Nevertheless, the reconstruction of the face from the exhumed skull matched postwar photographs of Zolotarev, although journalists expressed suspicions that another person was hiding under Zolotarev's name after World War II .

In February 2019, Russian authorities reopened the investigation into the incident, yet again, although only three possible explanations were being considered: an avalanche, a slab avalanche , or a hurricane . The possibility of a crime had been discounted.

Other reports brought about a whole bunch of additional speculation.

Twelve-year-old Yury Kuntsevich, who later became the head of the Yekaterinburg-based Dyatlov Foundation, attended five of the hikers' funerals. He recalled that their skin had a "deep brown tan".

Another group of hikers 31 mi south of the incident reported that they saw strange orange spheres in the sky to the north on the night of the incident.Similar spheres were observed in Ivdel and other areas continually during the period from February to March of 1959, by various independent witnesses (including the meteorology service and the military). These sightings were not noted in the 1959 investigation, and the various witnesses came forward years later.

After the initial investigation,

Anatoly Gushchin summarized his research in the book The Price of State Secrets Is Nine Lives. Some researchers criticised the work for its concentration on the speculative theory of a Soviet secret weapon experiment, but its publication led to public discussion, stimulated by interest in the paranormal .It is true that many of those who had remained silent for thirty years reported new facts about the accident. One of them was the former police officer, Lev Ivanov, who led the official inquest in 1959. In 1990, he published an article that included his admission that the investigation team had no rational explanation for the incident. He also stated that, after his team reported that they had seen flying spheres, he then received direct orders from high-ranking regional officials to dismiss this claim.

In 2000, a regional television company produced the documentary film The Mystery of Dyatlov Pass . With the help of the film crew, a Yekaterinburg writer, Anna Matveyeva, published a docudrama of the same name. A large part of the book includes broad quotations from the official case, diaries of victims, interviews with searchers and other documentaries collected by the film-makers. The narrative line of the book details the everyday life and thoughts of a modern woman (an alter ego of the author herself, which is super weird) who attempts to resolve the case. Despite its fictional narrative, Matveyeva's book remains the largest source of documentary materials ever made available to the public regarding the incident. Also, the pages of the case files and other documentaries (in photocopies and transcripts) are gradually being published on a web forum for nerds just like you and i!.

The Dyatlov Foundation was founded in 1999 at Yekaterinburg, with the help of Ural State Technical University, led by Yuri Kuntsevitch. The foundation's stated aim is to continue investigation of the case and to maintain the Dyatlov Museum to preserve the memory of the dead hikers. On July 1st 2016, a memorial plaque was inaugurated in Solikamsk in Ural's Perm Region, dedicated to Yuri Yudin (the dude who pussed out and is the sole survivor of the expedition group), who died in 2013.

Now, let’s go over some of the theories of what actually took place at the pass.

On July 11 2020, Andrey Kuryakov, deputy head of the Urals Federal District directorate of the Prosecutor-General 's Office, announced an avalanche to be the "official cause of death" for the Dyatlov group in 1959. Later independent computer simulation and analysis by Swiss researchers also suggest avalanche as the cause.

Reviewing the sensationalist " Yeti " hypothesis , American skeptic author Benjamin Radford suggests an avalanche as more plausible:

“that the group woke up in a panic (...) and cut their way out the tent either because an avalanche had covered the entrance to their tent or because they were scared that an avalanche was imminent (...) (better to have a potentially repairable slit in a tent than risk being buried alive in it under tons of snow). They were poorly clothed because they had been sleeping, and ran to the safety of the nearby woods where trees would help slow oncoming snow. In the darkness of night, they got separated into two or three groups; one group made a fire (hence the burned hands) while the others tried to return to the tent to recover their clothing since the danger had passed. But it was too cold, and they all froze to death before they could locate their tent in the darkness. At some point, some of the clothes may have been recovered or swapped from the dead, but at any rate, the group of four whose bodies was most severely damaged were caught in an avalanche and buried under 4 meters (13 ft) of snow (more than enough to account for the 'compelling natural force' the medical examiner described). Dubinina's tongue was likely removed by scavengers and ordinary predation.”

Evidence contradicting the avalanche theory includes:

The location of the incident did not have any obvious signs of an avalanche having taken place. An avalanche would have left certain patterns and debris distributed over a wide area. The bodies found within a month of the event were covered with a very shallow layer of snow and, had there been an avalanche of sufficient strength to sweep away the second party, these bodies would have been swept away as well; this would have caused more serious and different injuries in the process and would have damaged the tree line.

Over 100 expeditions to the region had been held since the incident, and none of them ever reported conditions that might create an avalanche. A study of the area using up-to-date terrain-related physics revealed that the location was entirely unlikely for such an avalanche to have occurred. The "dangerous conditions" found in another nearby area (which had significantly steeper slopes and cornices) were observed in April and May when the snowfalls of winter were melting. During February, when the incident occurred, there were no such conditions.

An analysis of the terrain and the slope showed that even if there could have been a very specific avalanche that found its way into the area, its path would have gone past the tent. The tent had collapsed from the side but not in a horizontal direction.

Dyatlov was an experienced skier and the much older Zolotaryov was studying for his Masters Certificate in ski instruction and mountain hiking. Neither of these two men would have been likely to camp anywhere in the path of a potential avalanche.

Footprint patterns leading away from the tent were inconsistent with someone, let alone a group of nine people, running in panic from either real or imagined danger. All the footprints leading away from the tent and towards the woods were consistent with individuals who were walking at a normal pace.

Repeated 2015 investigation [ edit ]

A review of the 1959 investigation's evidence completed in 2015–2019 by experienced investigators from the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation (ICRF) on request of the families confirmed the avalanche with several important details added. First of all, the ICRF investigators (one of them an experienced alpinist ) confirmed that the weather on the night of the tragedy was very harsh, with wind speeds up to hurricane force,(45–67 mph, a snowstorm and temperatures reaching −40 °C. These factors weren't considered by the 1959 investigators who arrived at the scene of the accident three weeks later when the weather had much improved and any remains of the snow slide had settled and been covered with fresh snowfall. The harsh weather at the same time played a critical role in the events of the tragic night, which have been reconstructed as follows:

On 1 February the group arrives at the Kholat Syakhl mountain and erects a large, 9-person tent on an open slope, without any natural barriers such as forests. On the day and a few preceding days, a heavy snowfall continued, with strong wind and frost.

The group traversing the slope and digging a tent site into the snow weakens the snow base. During the night the snowfield above the tent starts to slide down slowly under the weight of the new snow, gradually pushing on the tent fabric, starting from the entrance. The group wakes up and starts evacuation in panic, with only some able to put on warm clothes. With the entrance blocked, the group escapes through a hole cut in the tent fabric and descends the slope to find a place perceived as safe from the avalanche only 1500 m down, at the forest border.

Because some of the members have only incomplete clothing, the group splits. Two of the group, only in their underwear and pajamas, were found at the Siberian pine tree, near a fire pit. Their bodies were found first and confirmed to have died from hypothermia.

Three hikers, including Dyatlov, attempted to climb back to the tent, possibly to get sleeping bags. They had better clothes than those at the fire pit, but still quite light and with inadequate footwear. Their bodies were found at various distances 300–600 m from the campfire, in poses suggesting that they had fallen exhausted while trying to climb in deep snow in extremely cold weather.

The remaining four, equipped with warm clothing and footwear, were trying to find or build a better camping place in the forest further down the slope. Their bodies were found 70 m from the fireplace, under several meters of snow and with traumas indicating that they had fallen into a snow hole formed above a stream. These bodies were found only after two months.

According to the ICRF investigators, the factors contributing to the tragedy were extremely bad weather and lack of experience of the group leader in such conditions, which led to the selection of a dangerous camping place. After the snow slide, another mistake of the group was to split up, rather than building a temporary camp down in the forest and trying to survive through the night. Negligence of the 1959 investigators contributed to their report creating more questions than answers and inspiring numerous conspiracy theories.

In 2021 a team of physicists and engineers led by Alexander Puzrin published a new model that demonstrated how even a relatively small slide of snow slab on the Kholat Syakhl slope could cause tent damage and injuries consistent with those suffered by Dyatlov team.

Ok, what about the Katabatic wind that I mentioned earlier?

In 2019, a Swedish-Russian expedition was made to the site, and after investigations, they proposed that a violent katabatic wind was a plausible explanation for the incident. Katabatic winds are a drainage wind, a wind that carries high-density air from a higher elevation down a slope under the force of gravity. They are somewhat rare events and can be extremely violent. They were implicated in a 1978 case at Anaris Mountain in Sweden, where eight hikers were killed and one was severely injured in the aftermath of katabatic wind. The topography of these locations were noted to be very similar according to the expedition.

A sudden katabatic wind would have made it impossible to remain in the tent, and the most rational course of action would have been for the hikers to cover the tent with snow and seek shelter behind the treeline. On top of the tent, there was also a torch left turned on, possibly left there intentionally so that the hikers could find their way back to the tent once the winds subsided. The expedition proposed that the group of hikers constructed two bivouac shelters , or just makeshift shelters, one of which collapsed, leaving four of the hikers buried with the severe injuries observed.

Another hypothesis popularised by Donnie Eichar 's 2013 book Dead Mountain is that wind going around Kholat Syakal created a Kármán vortex street , a repeating pattern of swirling vortices , caused by a process known as vortex shedding , which is responsible for the unsteady separation of flow of a fluid around blunt bodies. which can produce infrasound capable of inducing panic attacks in humans. According to Eichar's theory, the infrasound generated by the wind as it passed over the top of the Holatchahl mountain was responsible for causing physical discomfort and mental distress in the hikers. Eichar claims that, because of their panic, the hikers were driven to leave the tent by whatever means necessary, and fled down the slope. By the time they were further down the hill, they would have been out of the infrasound's path and would have regained their composure, but in the darkness would have been unable to return to their shelter. The traumatic injuries suffered by three of the victims were the result of their stumbling over the edge of a ravine in the darkness and landing on the rocks at the bottom. Hmmm...plausible.

Military tests

In another theory, the campsite fell within the path of a Soviet parachute mine exercise. This theory alleges that the hikers, woken up by loud explosions, fled the tent in a shoeless panic and found themselves unable to return for their shit. After some members froze to death attempting to endure the bombardment, others commandeered their clothing only to be fatally injured by subsequent parachute mine concussions. There are in fact records of parachute mines being tested by the Soviet military in the area around the time the hikers were out there, fuckin’ around. Parachute mines detonate while still in the air rather than upon striking the Earth's surface and produce signature injuries similar to those experienced by the hikers: heavy internal damage with relatively little external trauma. The theory coincides with reported sightings of glowing, orange orbs floating or falling in the sky within the general vicinity of the hikers and allegedly photographed by them, potentially military aircraft or descending parachute mines. (remember the camera they found? HUH? Yeah?)

This theory (among others) uses scavenging animals to explain Dubinina's injuries. Some speculate that the bodies were unnaturally manipulated, on the basis of characteristic livor mortis markings discovered during an autopsy, as well as burns to hair and skin. Photographs of the tent allegedly show that it was erected incorrectly, something the experienced hikers were unlikely to have done.

A similar theory alleges the testing of radiological weapons and is based partly on the discovery of radioactivity on some of the clothing as well as the descriptions of the bodies by relatives as having orange skin and grey hair. However, radioactive dispersal would have affected all, not just some, of the hikers and equipment, and the skin and hair discoloration can be explained by a natural process of mummification after three months of exposure to the cold and wind. The initial suppression by Soviet authorities of files describing the group's disappearance is sometimes mentioned as evidence of a cover-up, but the concealment of information about domestic incidents was standard procedure in the USSR and thus nothing strange.. And by the late 1980s, all Dyatlov files had been released in some manner.

Let’s talk about Paradoxical undressing

International Science Times proposed that the hikers' deaths were caused by hypothermia, which can induce a behavior known as paradoxical undressing in which hypothermic subjects remove their clothes in response to perceived feelings of burning warmth. It is undisputed that six of the nine hikers died of hypothermia. However, others in the group appear to have acquired additional clothing (from those who had already died), which suggests that they were of a sound enough mind to try to add layers.

Keith McCloskey, who has researched the incident for many years and has appeared in several TV documentaries on the subject, traveled to the Dyatlov Pass in 2015 with Yury Kuntsevich of the Dyatlov Foundation and a group. At the Dyatlov Pass he noted:

There were wide discrepancies in distances quoted between the two possible locations of the snow shelter where Dubinina, Kolevatov, Zolotarev, and Thibault-Brignolles were found. One location was approximately 80 to 100 meters from the pine tree where the bodies of Doroshenko and Krivonischenko were found and the other suggested location was so close to the tree that anyone in the snow shelter could have spoken to those at the tree without raising their voices to be heard. This second location also has a rock in the stream where Dubinina's body was found and is the more likely location of the two. However, the second suggested location of the two has a topography that is closer to the photos taken at the time of the search in 1959.

The location of the tent near the ridge was found to be too close to the spur of the ridge for any significant build-up of snow to cause an avalanche. Furthermore, the prevailing wind blowing over the ridge had the effect of blowing snow away from the edge of the ridge on the side where the tent was. This further reduced any build-up of snow to cause an avalanche. This aspect of the lack of snow on the top and near the top of the ridge was pointed out by Sergey Sogrin in 2010.

McCloskey also noted:

Lev Ivanov's boss, Evgeny Okishev (Deputy Head of the Investigative Department of the Sverdlovsk Oblast Prosecution Office), was still alive in 2015 and had given an interview to former Kemerovo prosecutor Leonid Proshkin in which Okishev stated that he was arranging another trip to the Pass to fully investigate the strange deaths of the last four bodies when Deputy Prosecutor General Urakov arrived from Moscow and ordered the case shut down.

Evgeny Okishev also stated in his interview with Leonid Proshkin that Klinov, head of the Sverdlovsk Prosecutor's Office, was present at the first post mortems in the morgue and spent three days there, something Okishev regarded as highly unusual and the only time, in his experience, it had happened.

Donnie Eichar , who investigated and made a documentary about the incident, evaluated several other theories that are deemed unlikely or have been discredited:

They were attacked by Mansi or other local tribesmen. The local tribesmen were known to be peaceful and there was no track evidence of anyone approaching the tent.

They were attacked and chased by animal wildlife. There were no animal tracks and the group would not have abandoned the relative security of the tent.

High winds blew one member away, and the others attempted to rescue the person. A large experienced group would not have behaved like that, and winds strong enough to blow away people with such force would have also blown away the tent.

An argument, possibly related to a romantic encounter that left some of them only partially clothed, led to a violent dispute. About this, Eichar states that it is "highly implausible. By all indications, the group was largely harmonious, and sexual tension was confined to platonic flirtation and crushes. There were no drugs present and the only alcohol was a small flask of medicinal alcohol, found intact at the scene. The group had even sworn off cigarettes for the expedition." Furthermore, a fight could not have left the massive injuries that one body had suffered.
