Hakkōda Mountains disaster
The Hakkōda Mountains disaster (Japanese: 八甲田雪中行軍遭難事件, Hepburn: Hakkōda Settchū Kōgun Sōnan Jiken) occurred on 23 January 1902, when 210 Imperial Japanese Army soldiers became lost in a blizzard in the Hakkōda Mountains in Aomori Prefecture in northern Honshu, Japan, en-route to Tashiro Hot Spring in the Hakkōda Mountains. The 199 deaths (193 during the incident, 6 in the two months after rescue) during a single ascent make it the most lethal disaster in the modern recorded mountaineering.
