GroPro has been releasing loads of crazy footage lately, but this one is both majestic and chilling. Watch as Free Diver Matthew Villegas takes a GoPro under a frozen lake in Canada.

Villegas takes his GoPro for a dive underneath the icy surface of the lake, the first shot of him being so confusing you’d think he was swimming along the floor of the ocean.

In actual fact, he’s UPSIDE DOWN, swimming along the frozen ice on top of the lake, which is why you see these air bubbles floating upwards. It’s really a sight to see.

Down under the lake, he encounters a sunken plane and goes inside to explore.

It’s pretty cool. Still scary though.

Not to worry, because in the video you can spot his buddy diving alongside him, and in a couple of shots you can see a few scuba divers in the lake too. Not that dangerous I think.
