- Hole in glacier called a moulin is 46 metres deep
- Boy was riding under his Dad's supervision
- Accident happened on Saturday afternoon local time
A NINE-YEAR-OLD boy snowmobiling with his father near the Arctic Man races in Alaska fell into a hole estimated to be 46 metres deep, state troopers say.
Efforts to find and extract him have so far been unsuccessful and he is feared dead, troopers said on Sunday local time.
Troopers were notified of the accident about 3:30pm local time on Saturday about eight kilometres northwest of Arctic Man, near the Hoodoo mountains. They identified the child as Sjohn Brown and said he was wearing a helmet and goggles, which were found at the scene.
The child was riding on a full-size snowmobile and was being supervised by his father, troopers said. Other riders also were in the area. The child rode around a small mound but did not reappear.
His father found that he had gone into a hole.
Troopers originally said he had fallen into a crevasse, and then described it as hole, known as a moulin and formed when water flows into a glacier.
The hole is deep and had filled with a significant amount of snow, troopers said.
The boy is presumed dead and buried under an unknown amount of snow at the bottom of the hole, troopers said.
