Khamar-Daban Incident

In August 1993, a group of seven young hikers set out into the Khamar-Daban mountain range of southern Siberia. Only one, Valentina Utochenko, returned alive. She was found days later, starving and traumatised, after watching her companions collapse one by one in a violent storm. What caused their sudden deaths — exposure, poisoning, or something stranger — has never been fully explained. The Khamar-Daban incident remains one of Russia’s most chilling and mysterious wilderness tragedies.
