Ice climbing, ice breaking and ice diving in the Finnish winter
Finland: Breaking the ice
25 Min. From comfortable to extreme: snow-covered Finland offers some exceptional activities beyond the classic winter sports for those who like to experiment. Malte Clavin visited the only course in the world where you can learn to free dive under ice.

Amazon expedition
Amazon for beginners
18 Min. Deep in the Amazon region is a place where you can experience the rainforest in an extraordinary way, surrounded by the wilderness and all its inhabitants.
Mystical beauty at the Pacific Ocean
USA – Olympic National Park
24 Min. Olympic National Park in the north-west of the USA is home to three ecosystems: Almost 2,500-metre-high mountains, which I hiked through on snowshoes, rugged rocky coasts, whose wide beaches and colourful tide pools attract big and small explorers, and the northernmost rainforest in the world, a mystical magic world of mosses and trees up to a hundred metres high.
Caves, deserts & frankincense
Oman – in the sultanate of adventure
23 Min. Breathtaking desert landscapes, impressive mountain ranges, exuberant hospitality and delicious food. Oman offers all of that. I venture deep into the interior – the 7th Hole Cave on the Selmah Plateau is quite something.

No risk, no safety
How true safety is created
3 Min. Maybe you have experienced this too. Whenever you have to overcome yourself to do something unpleasant… and then actually do it… and then realise that yes, you are still alive – ok, maybe with a few scrapes or with a few laughs because you failed – then you have learned something and moved on a bit.
Avoid avoidance
Learn how to use this hidden superpower
3 Min. You have it. You hate it. You try to avoid it at all costs. It’s fear. Wait a moment, please. Don’t just click away. You might think: ‘Oh no, not now, not with me.’ That’s totally ok – that’s just your well-programmed reaction. But you do not learn anything. You just nurture your fear – instead of dissolving it – and becoming a better person. Allow me a few minutes to explain along 3 points: How can you use fear as an almost inexhaustible source of power.
Table Mountain Expedition
My life’s dream destination
29 Min. Scientists called Venezuela’s Salto Angel waterfall the eighth wonder of the world. The dreamlike, yet mystical Table Mountains inspired James Cameron for his film Avatar. And I finally fulfilled my long-cherished No. 1 travel dream on my fourth attempt: a trip to what I consider the most spectacular landscape in the world.
