A man from Brazil died tragically in a cave in Argentina when he ignored the prohibition signs and decided to go beyond the limits.

The tourist was crushed by a huge chunk of ice and died on the spot while entering Jimbo Cave in the Andorran Valley.

The solid ice fell on the man from a height of 15 meters, killing him instantly.

Another climber was filming the moment the tragedy happened and the video is dramatic.

The footage shows the victim walking towards the cave entrance, an opening under a glacier, as one of his companions warned him to be careful.
