Crevasses in glaciers are limited to around 50 meters deep because of the way ice behaves under pressure. Deeper crevasses would experience increased pressure from the weight of the ice above, causing the ice to deform and close up the crack. This limit helps maintain the structural integrity of the glacier.

Where is the most of earths fresh water located?
The majority of Earth's fresh water is locked up in polar ice caps and glaciers. Only a small fraction of fresh water is found in lakes, rivers, and underground sources.
What is the reason why crevasses in glaciers only be 50 meters deep?
Crevasses are limited to 50 meters depth due to the ice's ability to deform under pressure. At greater depths, the weight of the ice causes the glacier to flow rather than crack. Instead of deepening, the ice will undergo plastic deformation to accommodate the stress.

You would die. However, the deepest part of the Mariana Trench is only about 11,000 meters deep, so I don't know for sure where you're planning on going 150,000 meters under. You could dig a hole at the bottom of the trench, but I wouldn't recommend that.
