Mountain of the Dead (29 page)
16 One of the search party stands in a den that the Dyatlov group had tried to build in order to protect themselves from the cold and wind. The bodies of Luda Dubinina, Nicolai Thibeaux-Brignolle, Semyon Zolotarev and Alexander Kolevatov were found in this area.

22 The last photo taken on Igor Dyatlov’s camera is a source of much speculation. Some take this as proof of the light orbs, others say someone’s face can be seen in it. More mundanely, it has been said that when one of the search party lifted the camera from the tent, they pressed the button and took a picture by mistake (with the lens cap partially on) and this is the result. No one knows for certain.
