## Resource

In today's episode, we're traveling to one of the most remote mountain ranges in Siberia. In 1993, seven experienced hikers entered the Khamar-Daban wilderness expecting a challenging but carefully planned expedition. Within days, six of them were dead after collapsing in rapid succession and displaying frightening, inexplicable symptoms. Was it a terrible case of exposure and hypothermia — or did something far more unusual happen?
