In which mountain range did the Dyatlov Pass Incident occur?

• A. Ural Mountains
• B. Andes
• C. Himalayas
• D. Rocky Mountains

Answer: (A)

The Dyatlov Pass incident occurred in the Ural Mountains, a long belt of mountains in Russia that sits on the boundary between Europe and Asia. In 1959, a group of hikers died on the slopes of a pass in the northern Urals near Kholat Syakhl. The other named ranges—the Andes (South America), the Himalayas (Asia), and the Rocky Mountains (North America)—are in different parts of the world, far from where this event happened. So the Ural Mountains are the correct location.
