Kholat Syakhl


Kholat Syakhl, a transliteration in Russian of Holatchahl, meaning "Dead Mountain" in Mansi is a mountain in the northern Ural region of Russia.
The name of this mountain pass simply means "lack of game" for Mansi hunters. The Mansi word kholat is a relatively common name on their territory and is part of at least 3 other topographic objects.
On February 2, 1959, a group of ski hikers led by Igor Dyatlov mysteriously perished on the east shoulder of the mountain.
