The Black Climber

añadido30 de agosto de 2026

A figure in black who appears in the mountains: in some accounts he helps the lost, in others he leads them off the path. The legend is common to Soviet mountaineering as a whole and has been recorded in the Caucasus, the Tian Shan and the Pamirs; each region has its own version of who he was in life — usually somebody who was abandoned on a rope. The story has a practical point, and it explains its durability: it says out loud what actually happens in mountains, and what that world fears more than dying.

El Queen Mary

Un transatlántico amarrado en Long Beach desde 1967. Durante sus treinta y un años de servicio murieron a bordo unas cuarenta y nueve personas, entre ellas un tripulante de dieciocho años aplastado por la puerta estanca número 13. En la guerra transportó tropas y una vez, en una maniobra, partió en dos a su crucero de escolta y se ahogaron más de trescientos hombres; detenerse a rescatarlos estaba prohibido por los submarinos. El camarote B340 se alquila aparte y tiene fama propia.

El Elbrús

La cima más alta de Europa y un volcán dormido al que, en una versión de la tradición, estuvo encadenado Prometeo. La montaña ha acumulado su propio cuerpo de historias: el refugio Priyut 11 que ardió en 1998, los cuerpos de soldados de la división alemana Edelweiss hallados donde plantaron una bandera en 1942, y las figuras entre la niebla que los montañeros describen casi con las mismas palabras que se usan en el Ben Macdui escocés.

The Almasty of Kabardino-Balkaria

The Caucasus is the heartland of the Almasty, the Caucasian wild man: a creature some two metres tall covered in reddish hair which, by the accounts of mountain villagers, comes down to the sheepfolds and takes livestock. In the 1960s Professor Boris Porshnev collected testimony here for the Academy of Sciences and examined the case of Zana, a woman who lived in an Abkhaz village in the nineteenth century and whom locals held to be a captured Almasty. Her descendants were traced into the twentieth century; genetic analysis in 2015 found ordinary African ancestry.

The Vishap Stones of the Gegham Mountains

On the high pastures of Armenia stand the vishaps — stone stelae up to five metres tall, carved as fish or wrapped in the hide of a bull. They are some four thousand years old and were set at springs and water channels. In Armenian mythology the vishap is a dragon that lives in the mountains and holds back the water, until the hero Vahagn defeats it. The stelae predate the written tradition, so who raised them and why is known only from the stone.

The Black Lady of Nesvizh Castle

Belarus's best-known ghost is Barbara Radziwiłł, the Polish queen who died in 1551 at twenty-nine. The story goes that her husband Sigismund Augustus was so undone by her death that he had her spirit summoned; the rite went wrong, and she has walked the galleries of the family castle at Nesvizh ever since. The castle is real and on the UNESCO list, tours run daily, and the Black Lady is the one exhibit that does not appear in the museum inventory.

The White Caver

The underground counterpart of the Black Climber, known to everyone who goes into caves across the former Soviet Union. What makes him white is calcite, settled on his clothes over years below ground. Meeting him traditionally means the party has lost the route. Cavers have a half-joking initiation rite for newcomers in which he is described — a rare case of folklore whose carriers know perfectly well it is folklore, and which is none the weaker for it.
