Incredible footage shows thrill-seeker friends ski-base jumping on dangerous glacier
This incredible footage shows two thrill-seeking friends base jumping with skis off a dangerous glacier in the Alps.
Ex-Royal Marine Tim Howell, 31, and Maria Steinmeyer performed the incredible jump in the Mont Blanc massif mountain range in the Alps.
The pair jumped from a serac, which is the edge of a glacier.
Tim, from Martock, Somerset, said: “It’s a ski jump with a difference. Maria and I have been looking for a ‘serac’ to ski base from for YEARS.
“A serac is a large wall of ice.”
Tim and a ski shop manager Maria checked out the exit by flying a drone to view the area, as well as using ice screws and rope tied behind the edge, to look at the height.
He said: “Seracs are usually very unstable, so the exit was so scary to look over.
“The drop to impact was 80m and we had a 10-minute, over 2000m canopy flight to the landing.”
Tim and Maria returned the following week to do it again and found that the edge of the serac had changed massively due to collapse.
The footage was taken on the 9th of February 2022.
