I've been researching this case for many years and don't believe this was natural phenomena.

Let's take a look at George's injuries. All the hikers had severe injuries just like George's.

Here's the field where Luda, Nicholas, Alexander, and Simon's body's were found. Luda and Simon had crushed ribs. These injuries have been blamed on a fall into a ravine. Yet, they were not found in a ravine. They were found in a field.

All nine bodies were found from a half mile to a mile from the tent. George, Yuri, Luda, Nicholas, Alexander, and Simon's bodies were a mile away. To get there they had to walk a mile, in the snow, at night, in their socks, and then climb a 15 ft. cliff. Here's a map of the area.

For reference, the hikers average speed during the days they were hiking was 1 mile per hour. Since their bodies were found a mile away, that means they walked for at least an hour in their socks or barefoot and climbed a 15 ft cliff. There was no sign of an avalanche. No trees were crushed, the hiker's footprints were found outside the tent- and not covered up as they would be from an avalanche.

Delicate items such as crackers, tins of food, and a cup of cocoa were undisturbed in the tent. There was a sandwich made and bits of a meal were laid out. These items were not crushed or out of place. Again showing there was no sign of an avalanche.

If the hikers heard an avalanche and panicked and rushed out of the tent, they would have turned around soon after. They would not have walked for an hour away from the tent. Not to mention, again the items in the tent show no signs of a panicked situation.

Most important of all is the histology test that was performed on Luda, Nicholas, Simon, and Alexander. Histology is the study of the microscopic structure of tissues. And in this case, the tissues were being examined to look for active bleeding at the injury site.

As already mentioned, Simon and Luda's chests were crushed. The histology test determined that those injuries happened while they were alive.

Both Luda and Simon were also found with their eyes missing. This histology test determined there was active bleeding at the time these injuries occurred. This means that Simon and Luda's eyes were removed while they were alive.

This, in and of itself, points to something more sinister than an avalanche or winds or ice slab or whatever.

I'm skeptical of this new investigation into the Dyatlov Pass mystery. In fact, it's a shame that the Russian officials want to pin this on weather or natural events or whatever. All those scenarios were ruled out almost immediately back in 1959. And there's still no sign of such events to this day. The evidence of the case is in complete contradiction to a natural event.

Edit: I'm getting PM's about the picture of George's injuries. I created that based on his autopsy report. I also did the same thing for the other eight hikers. I wrote a book about Dyatlov Pass and included those in there.

Edit: Here's a link to the original official reports.

Edit: Here's a link to the scans of the original official documents.

Edit: I hope I've been able to answer everyone's messages and replies. I apologize if I missed someone. If I have, then please let me know. I typed the OP out while babysitting my four year old grandson full-time, so I haven't been as attentive to this post as I'd like. Thank you all for your patience and time.

I like this theory, but it absolutely downplays the severity of their injuries. Here's a comment from u/wordblender that I think completely debunks this theory -
