A French skier has shared a GoPro video showing the moment he plunged into a seemingly bottomless crevasse, Mountaineer Les Powtos posted the clip on his Instagram account with a simple caption that summed up the experience: "surprise".
The experience clearly rattled Powtos, who was swept down the hole in a current of snow and ice, but once his skis became wedged, he gathered his wits and managed to escape using an ice axe and crampons.
