Russ Robinson was flying his helicopter in Alaska, when, suddenly, he and his girlfriend spotted something they didn’t expect to see 7,000 feet up on a snowy mountain peak: A grizzly bear. The couple couldn’t believe their eyes, and their video is going viral online.

A follow-up video also shows what appears to be the bear’s den, suggesting the grizzly bear had hibernated on the side of the peak and recently woke up. Whoa.

Check out a helicopter view of a grizzly bear way up on a 7,000 foot snowy peak below (or see it here).

The couple posted a couple other videos of the high-altitude bear. See them below.
