Why it works
Seven cuts in the first three seconds create an expedition-scale hook before the hidden-world promise at 0:19. A human-sized ice-block comparison at 2:03–2:16 and an instrument-to-map reveal at 5:38–5:50 coincide with the excerpt's strongest replay peaks. The real crevasse descent at 4:11–4:49 gives the diagrams physical stakes.
