Skrækvideo: Vinterbader trapped under the ice

It could have ended horribly wrong for the Norwegian boxer Alexander Hagen, when he in the beginning of the week chopped a hole in the ice and took a freezing cold dip.

Alexander made two holes in the ice, and would for the first time, try to swim from one hole to the other, but he had not taken into account for the low visibility.

the Boxer had both the flashlight and svømmebriller with, but under the ice they were not of much help.

Alexander came to swim too much to the left, and therefore lost under the ice.

- I then delete and right not the opening in the ice. The camera shows more than what I saw. I had small goggles on, and the eyes freezes tremendously under the ice, tells Alexander Hagen to VG.
