Dani Arnold — Ice-Climbing in the depths of a glacier
His aim is usually to stand on mountain peaks. Even for Dani Arnold, starting a climb with a descent into the darkness was a new mountaineering experience. Follow Dani’s adventure in the depths of the Plaine-Morte glacier and his climb back to daylight with an ice axe.
Glaciers are not compact masses of ice. Their crevasses are both known and feared: if you cross over one on a snow bridge, the darkness below gives you an impression of the hidden depths under your feet. However, this mysterious underworld is quickly forgotten almost as soon as you pass the crevasse. This had previously also been the case for Dani Arnold. Ice is his world - and where else can you find an environment formed entirely from ice?
