Hamar-Daban (Russian: Хама́р-Даба́н; Template:Lang-bua, from hамар - "nut", and дабаан, "pass" or "ridge"), is a mountain range in Southern Siberia, Russia.

Geography

The range is located in Buryatia, with a small section in Irkutsk Oblast. It rises near the Baikal Mountains not far from Lake Baikal. It forms a geographic prolongation of the Sayan Mountains.[1] The highest peak is Utulinskaya Podkova at 2,396 m (7,861 ft). The southern end of the range is part of the Selenga Highlands.[2] The climate of the northern part of Hamar-Daban is affected by Lake Baikal, being temperate and humid, with precipitation up to 1,300 mm per year. The average January temperature is -16-18 °C.[3]

The song of the same name by Yuri Vizbor, written in 1962, is dedicated to the Hamar-Daban ridge.

Hamar-Daban pass incident

Six members of a seven person hiking group led by Lyudmila Korovina died in mysterious circumstances in 1993.[4] Valentina Utochenko was the only survivor.[5] Later autopsies found signs of hypothermia and protein deficiency in the deceased members of the hiking group.[6]
