Top 4 Most Extreme Adventures In The World

We all want a little adventure in our lives every once in a while, but for some, that’s not enough! These people have a unique personality type that allows them to brave the most extreme environments and push the limits of risk-taking. Here are the top 5 most extreme adventures in the world:

1. Volcano walk

Iceland is one of the most active volcano regions in the world, and for extreme adventurers, it’s a hot spot for an adrenaline rush! They offer “inside the volcano” tours where you enter the mouth of a volcano in a large basket for 10 minutes. Thankfully, the volcano, Thrihnukagigur, where the tour takes place, is dormant as hasn't erupted in over 4,000 years. It doesn’t stop the rush, though!

2. Camping in the cold

Camping doesn’t seem to be an extreme adventure, but an 8-day camping trip to Antarctica sleeping with emperor penguins sure does! In an isolated part of West Antarctica, on the coast of the Weddell Sea, you can experience a once-in-a-lifetime adventure near a colony of emperor penguins. Antarctica’s breathtaking landscape is sure to give extreme adventurers what they want.

3. Cage diving with sharks

Coming face to face with Australia’s great white sharks sounds like a nightmare to most people. For extreme adventurers, it’s a dream! Enclosed in a very sturdy cage, you are then lowered over the back of a boat for a close encounter with the great whites. The Neptune Islands of Australia are well-known for their great white shark tourism, and a hot spot for adventurers of the extreme variety.

4. Cliff walking

On the Hua Shan Mountain in China lies one the most dangerous adventures in the world: a cliff walk along the mountain. The path is quite narrow with wooden planks to walk on, and only two straps that hook onto wires along the path - not the most reassuring! For some extreme adventurers, though, it’s something they have to try at least once!
