Has the Dyatlov Pass incident been solved by Frozen? - BBC My World #shorts

If you've been on social media recently, you might have noticed a lot of headlines about the Dyatlov Pass incident - an adventure mystery dating back to 1959 - and Disney's animated movie Frozen. But what do they have in common? If you don't know, the Dyatlov Pass incident is an adventure mystery dating back to 1959, when a group of ten students led by Igor Dyatlov set out into the Ural Mountains. Only one person - who turned back early - ever returned. The hikers' tent was found buried in the snow on a remote mountain, slashed open from the inside. The group's cameras - with pictures of the trip - were found inside. Their bodies were later found, with strange, gruesome injuries. The circumstances around their deaths has led to years of conspiracy theories, despite Russian authorities insisting an avalanche was to blame, partly due to a lack of evidence. A new theory - backed by a simulation with some unusual sourcing - might provide some of the answers. Here's what you need to know, in under a minute.
