Diving with Dominica's legends of the deep

Imagine a giant Sperm whale swimming towards you as you bob at the surface. After they get comfortable with your presence, one approaches you very closely, rolling over again and again, trying to get you to rub their bellies.

Do you dream of swimming with these giants of the abyss? Then head to Dominica where the deep waters off the coast are home to nearly 200 resident sperm whales. Watch this: Diving with whales in Dominica to get a glimpse of what coming face to face with these gentle giants would be like.

Oregon's secret waterfall

Evergreen forests, mossy rocks, and wild ferns grow in every direction, the quintessential Pacific Northwest scenery. One of the best ways to immerse yourself in this misty fairy tale wonderland is to hike to Abiqua Falls in Oregon.

What draws people to these falls is one stand-out feature: The basalt amphitheater over which the water flows. The wall is made up of geometrically perfect hexagonal columns that were formed by cooled lava. In winter, hikers might even see icicles hanging off the rock wall.

Plan it: Here's all the info you need to hike this short but worthy trail.

Climbing Ice: The Iceland Trifecta

We live in an era in which we’ve seen it all before. It might seem that opportunities for new adventure and striking photography teeter on the brink of extinction.

Tim Kemple, a photographer, and filmmaker says this predicament is his greatest source of inspiration. So with this in mind, Tim planned a journey into the heart of Europe’s largest glacier in order to try to re-interpret this stark and ephemeral kingdom through his own unique perspective.

The Vatna Glacier covers 8% of Iceland and is 2,000ft thick in parts. Under it lie mountains, valleys, and even active volcanoes. This is the largest protected area in Europe, and one of the most beautiful with its wild landscapes of ice, waterfalls, caves, and unique species of birds and wildlife.Watch this: Climbing Ice: The Iceland Trifecta is a short documentary packed with death-defying adventure, stunning landscapes, and rarely-documented feats of physical endurance and skill.

🥾 Explore: The cave roads of Tuscany. 🤭 Laugh: When you think your fin hits a piece of coral.

⛰️ Fly: Scenic views over the Icelandic highlands.

💰 Deal: 20% off REI Co-Op Cycles CTY e2.1 electric bike.

🤠 Snack: American grass-fed Waygu beef bites.
