日本，北海道

                                                                                     1.日本，北海道，十胜岳---在火山上滑雪

                                                                            如果可以坐着滑雪板从火山上滑下去，为什么还要去排队坐缆车呢？
                                                                       胆大的日本人在经历了一次雪崩的教训后开启了这项活动：你可以爬到                                                                       垂直800米的海拔高度，在每小时45英里(72公里)的风速下滑下去，这种                                                                      经历一定会让你尖叫的。                                                                                  最佳探险时间：十一月到次年六月，但二月是最佳时间

巴塔哥尼亚

                                                                                          2.巴塔哥尼亚，托雷德裴恩国家公园--荒漠漫行

                                                                                   在呼叫的风声中撑起帐篷，在冰冷的河水中喝水，如果愿意，
                                                                          你可以在下一个黄昏前到达下一个宿营地。这里风景的多样性是                                                                           非常特别的，由冰川作用雕琢出来的风景简直无与伦比。人们总                                                                          是在猜测下一站会是什么风景，直到大自然真正地把她的面纱打开                                                                                                       最佳探险时间：十一月到次年的三月                                                                                                                                                      

坦桑尼亚

                                                                                                  3.坦桑尼亚--攀登乞力马扎罗

                                                                              在海拔5895的山顶，温度会下降到零下30度，当然也会有高原反应。
                                                                         虽然如此，乞力马扎罗山依然是世界七座高峰中最容易攀登的一座。                                                                        龙盖会让你在雾林中穿梭，虽然由于山路的崎岖会有头晕和恶心的症状；                                                                         从碎石堆到山顶的那段路是最难走的，但是穿过东非大裂谷的成就感                                                                          会让你觉得不虚此行。                                                                                最佳游览时间：12月下旬到次年三月中旬或六月下旬到十月

美国犹他州

                                                                                            4.美国犹他州，在奥林匹克轨道滑雪

                                                                                 每小时80英里(128公里)的速度可能会比较恐怖，尤其是当你经过
                                                                        90度的拐弯时。滑行的过程中，你应该低着头，因为其中的重力就像是                                                                        一台战斗机。                                                                                                      最佳游览时间：十月到次年二月
                                                                                           

北极圈

                                                                                                                     5.北极圈--狗拉雪橇

                                                                                 想象一下在超凡脱俗的世界中，冰天雪地中坐在狗拉的雪橇是
                                                                           什么样的感觉，世界似乎停滞了。虽然狗拉雪橇本质很稳定，但是                                                                           如果更快就会更刺激。                                                                                                    最佳游览时间：十二月到次年四月

南极

                                                                                                                  6.到南极洲巡航

                                                                                    游览世界上最荒凉的土地最简单的方法就是做巡航舰，当然晕船
                                                                          药是必须的。轮船小心地驶过德雷克海峡，你可以看到海象、尖凸企鹅                                                                          和“海神的风箱”的黑色沙滩。                                                                                               最佳游览时间：十一月到次年三月

维多利亚瀑布

                                                                                                      7.在维多利亚瀑布边缘游泳

                                                                                亲临赞比亚著名的瀑布，当每分钟1928000万平方英尺的水流从
                                                                          100米的高空落下，水花会溅到你的脸上。在八月和十二月或一月，                                                                          取决于水的高度，瀑布边上的魔鬼游泳池很平静可以游泳。                                                                                            最佳游览时间：八月和十二月或一月 

赞比西河

                                                                                                              8.赞比西河--白水漂流

                                                                                     赞比西河有世界上最壮观的急流险滩观，包括6级的急流。
                                                                            在这样的激流中探险，你会觉得自己面对的是突然坍塌的摩天大楼，                                                                            在幽灵乘客的激流中，你会觉得自己坐上了迪斯尼的水上过山车。                                                                                                    最佳游览时间：十月到次年五月

新西兰

                                                                                                               9.新西兰，漫步福克斯冰河

                                                                               在这个随时都会变幻的冰川上行走，你必须全神贯注，全身神经
                                                                               紧绷，因为你担心会滑进去。                                                                                                 最佳游览时间：十月到次年四月

塔斯马尼亚

                                                                              10.塔斯马尼亚，圣克莱尔河国家公园，摇篮山--陆上探险

                                                                                   5到8天的路程在这里完全不够。探险者可以发掘这里的粗玄岩山、
                                                                          冰川雕刻的峡谷、龙潭和水上乐园。但是即使在夏至，公园里也可能                                                                          会变得很冷，很潮湿，并且风也会很大，所以带上情况最恶劣时可以                                                                         用到的衣服和装备。                                                                                        最佳游览时间：十月到十一月、十二月和次年三月
