These nail-biting images show an intrepid surfer in the
forbidden parts of the world's largest grave.
Real-life Indiana Jane, Alison Teal, 30, from Hawaii, USA, took her bright pink board 150 metres underground to surf with around six million skeletons in the Catacombs of Paris. It is believed Alison became the first person to complete the surfing expedition when she went underground on October 13.

Alison, who is also film-maker, said: 'I grew up listening
to my father telling me stories about the catacombs on Halloween. 'We were
taken down this secret passage way. It was very James Bond style.'We were in
the caves for ages, it was day light when we came back up.'
The adrenaline junkie revealed that one of her most
memorable moments was her discovery of an ancient burial in Peru. She said: 'In
2008 I teamed up with wild Peruvian pro surfer 'Octopus' for a surf adventure
down the desolate coastline.'While searching for a secret surf break we
discovered an ancient burial in the sand dunes as the pre Incans buried their
elite at the top of the dunes near the ocean. 'The mummy inside was laden with
his possessions for the afterlife including a solid gold nose piece in the form
of a surfer and a carved wooden paddle inlaid with precious stones.'
