Description
Newly shared video captures the unbelievable moment a skier plunged into a deep glacier crevasse in the French Alps last April.
The footage was posted on April 18, 2023, by a group of skiers calling themselves ‘The Powtos,’ who were skiing a glacier near La Grave, France, when one came across a deep hole and didn’t have enough time to avoid it.
Also known as a glacier mill, a moulin is a circular, shaft-like crevasse carved by meltwater.
According to remarks given to local media, the skier fell about 15 meters down, but was safely rescued by the group, who were equipped with ropes, harnesses, and other tools.
