The paper presents what the author believes to be the most important information concerning suicides in the Polish Tatra Mountains from 2000 to 2010. It presents the most frequent manners of committing suicide and suicide locations in the mountains. Moreover, the author decided to test whether gender, age, and social and atmospheric factors (especially of the halny [local foehn-type wind], blowing as a rule in spring and autumn in the Podhale region and the unfavourable biometeorogical situation accompanying it) could influence the victims’ attempts at selfdestruction.
