A nine-year-old has died after falling into a 200-foot crevasse with his snowmobile during a race near Fairbanks, Alaska.

The incident happened Saturday, when Shjon Brown disappeared while racing in the snow at the Arctic Man Classic and Sno-Go in the Hoodoo Mountains in central Alaska.

The boy was out with his father and drove into a small mound while his father took a break on the side of a hill. Sjohn did not reappear and when the father went to look for him, he saw that he had fallen into a deep hole, in the glacier, according to Fairbanks Daily News.

These holes, known as a moulin, appears water on the glacier's surface melts ice to a crevasse below.

An emergency room doctor and the North American Outdoor Institude managed to go down to the bottom of the crevasse, around 200 feet below the surface. His goggles and snowmobile were found.

On late Sunday, climbers were able to recover the body of Shjon, which was buried under six foot of snow under his snowmobile.

The Arctic Man Classic is a major snowmobile and ski race.
