In the remote, icy wilderness on the Greenland ice cap, a gaping hole marked the spot where climber Will Gadd and his support crew and film team would descend into the unknown. Christian Pondella has been shooting adventures with Gadd for nearly 20 years – but this one took things to a different level. Literally.

Greenland was a wild adventure with @realwillgadd and one of the most beautiful and stunning landscapes I have ever witnessed. Seeing the glaciers meet the ocean as the icebergs drift away then camping on the ice cap and descending into the glacier. This image of Will climbing out from the depths of a moulin was a highlight and cumulation of the entire adventure. We had climbed on icebergs, froze our asses off in sub-zero temps, navigated safely inside a volatile glacier and now ice climbing in one of the wildest places on the planet. @redbulladventure @redbullillume #rbi19submission

@realwillgadd descending into the deep blue! Excited to share this Greenland project with Will Gadd and @jason_gulley_science as we spent time on the Greenland Ice Cap exploring a moulin which is a deep ice cavity in the glacier.
