In 1955, a group of 12 Kazakh mountain climbers attempted to make an ascent to Victory Peak, the highest peak in the Tian Shan mountains, which became one of the worst tragedies in the history of mountaineering taking the lives of 11 people. Only one climber, severely frostbitten, survived to tell what happened...

I'm a 27 yo mother, from a tropical country that barely has any mountains, with zero interest in mountaineering but I still can't seem to miss not even one of your videos, your storytelling abilities are truly amazing 😊

Man, I wonder if the team who found that journal got a chill when they realized what it was... Rediscovering the words of the dead is monumental, but it's got to be a little spooky too.

I kind of appreciate that it was the guy who consistently tried to save everyone else (digging out the snow for hours upon hours, while other climbers sat in their ever-expanding tent, either they cbf or were too weak to assist), he was very strong, thoughtful & logical, pity his mates didn't survive with him (the lad who's uncle was in the Politburo, who died descending after shovelling snow with him, or the chap that fell into a different crevasse the day before). RIP.

How you manage to consistently publish documentaries of such high quality is really impressive. I always wonder: are you creating the animations yourself? If so: are you a professional in this field or self-taught "just" for these videos? And who is the female voice in your videos? (sorry for the barrage of questions, you don't have to answer, of course)

@ameisee4 Thank you! While I do most of the editing myself, I also have a friend who helps with 3D graphics to illustrate the stories with very little archival footage. As for the female voice, my wife does these parts:)

@haubenmeisewillow-tit331 5 ай бұрын

So often you heare that the mountains are "crule". I think that the mountains, like oceans, caves, jungles and deserts, just are! They are in their climate zones with their fakts, and rules. If man wants to survive, he/she neets to know exactly what they are dealing with and to treat nature with respect. For natures forces can certainly be dangerous to man! And pain, suffering and death seems crule to us. Thats why I deeply admire Sir Edmund Hillary, Reinhold Messner and the third one, whos name I forget, who were knowledgable and respectfull enough to live to a wise old age, to tell their stories. ❤ 😊

@drats1279 5 ай бұрын

Interesting story however your Russian pronunciations are terrible. Even some non-Russian words were mispronounced by you. The climber who fell ill at around 22.32, fell to the ground and became the first casualty of the descent, not the ascent. Aren't all icy crevasses filled with cold water? 24:18

@MoonlightCircus 4 ай бұрын

I can answer your last question: no. Crevasses are, definitially, a deep open crack, especially one in a glacier. They are frequently not filled with anything, although some will have a snow bridge over the top. Occasionally, they are filled with water, which I would imagine would be especially dangerous, as being soaked in a frigid mountain environment is a pretty good way to ensure you get hypothermia and frostbite.
