It's not everyday we encounter something life-changing. For singer Ellie Goulding, it was one fateful trip to Norway that would've given us a somber way to start the New Year.

According to Huffington Post, she and her friend/photographer Conor McDonnell were driving a car across a frozen lake in Norway. The vehicle suddenly went through the ice and the two were forced to scramble their way out of the car. They narrowly escaped a harrowing death and lived to post the experience on Instagram.

"That moment when you're in -25 in the middle of nowhere in Norway in the pitch black and your belt wagon crashes through the ice in the middle of a lake and you have to emergency evacuate through the roof," McDonnell wrote in his caption. "'Oh shit we're in' was my first thought. Second was to take photos. We were in the front cabin. That is pretty much under water in this photo. A few minutes later it was all completely gone under the water and ice for good."

Goulding also took to Instagram to tell the tale of her survival: "Throwback to a few weeks ago when myself and @conormcdphoto nearly ended up in a lake in -30," she posted. "Note to self don't drive a BV206 over a frozen lake."

We're just happy the "Love Me Like You Do" singer and her friend made it out alive!
