　　Ice climb in London

　　The huge ice skating area at Somerset House has been drawing crowds each winter for years, but last November an ice wall was added for the first time, bringing even more danger and excitement. Standing more than 26 feet high is a long line of pure ice, featuring three climbing faces of varying difficulty using crampons (防滑鞋), ice picks and ropes. Using it costs about ￡40 (020 78454600; www.somersethouseicednk.org.uk). It is open from late November to the end of January.

　　Hang-gliding (悬挂式滑翔) in Rio De Janeiro

　　According to the hang-gliders of Rio, once you've swooped (俯冲) over the city's streets, gazing at the Sugar Loaf, and the city of Niteroion, the other side of Guanabara Bay, you will understand why birds are peaceful animals. Accept the romantic idea on a 30-minute cycling flight from the 525-meter Pedra Bonita in the Sao Conrado mountain down to the Sao Conrado beach. It costs around ￡55.

　　Skywalk in Sydney

It's the city's highest building. After a thorough briefing and being fitted with protective skysuits, skywalkers make their way along two-purpose-built walkways and platforms, which have transparent floor, while a guide points out landmarks. Night time skywalks are also available. It costs ￡46.
