Laila Peak Expedition in Pakistan

If mountain climbing is your thing you’ve probably heard of Pakistan’s massive peaks like K2, Gasherbrum I, Gasherbrum II, Broad Peak or Nanga Parbat.​But have you heard of Laila Peak?​We hadn’t either until coming across this video by Jackson Groves that showed him attempting to climb Laila’s incredibly steep slope.​Less than 50 people have stood on top of its summit. Will Jackson and his friends make it? Watch to find out.

Diving With the Sharks of Tiger Beach

Ever wonder what it’s like having a massive shark swim over your head? Watch this video where Steven Paige takes us diving at Tiger Beach to find out.

Hands down Tiger Beach, Bahamas is the most reliable, consistent and, arguably, aesthetically pleasing spot to photograph tiger sharks on Earth.

While the site is famous for tigers, hammerheads and bull sharks are known to show up from time to time.

Beat the Winter Blues Norwegian Style

As they say in Norway, there’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing.

Ok, some Scandinavians will admit bad weather does exist, but there is also really good clothing.

So when it comes to finding a jacket that can handle it all, Norwegian outdoor gear company Helly Hansen knows a thing or two about layering for brutal weather.

Out of their winter lineup, the Odin 9 Worlds 2.0 jacket is an all-time favorite among adventure junkies looking for maximum protection from the elements.

Named after the Norse God who was known for going on epic journeys, this jacket was designed to protect you from crazy wind storms and pounding rain.​It’s fully waterproof, windproof and breathable, so you’ll stay dry and comfortable no matter where you go.

On paper, it’s probably a bit overkill but if you like to buy pro quality gear that will stand the test of time, the Odin 9 Worlds 2.0 outdoor could be the jacket you’ve been searching for.

Bush Pilots of Alaska

For bush pilots, the airplane is the ultimate tool to get into the wilderness and exploring unknown places. It gives them access to places you couldn’t get to otherwise.

In this film, the pilots of Ultima Thule Lodge fly into Wrangell – St Elias National Park in a remote region Alaska. They also give some insight into this unique and adventurous style of flying.

The Deepest Dive in Antarctica Reveals a Sea Floor Teeming With Life

No one really knows what’s in the deep ocean in Antarctica. Now we have the technology to reach into the ocean depths.

Like the Antarctic sun sea star. It has up to 50 arms that are covered with tiny pincers that immediately snap shut anytime something brushes past them.
