Read MoreOne of the most secret and hard-to-get places on Ibiza’s wild west coast is the Cave of Light or La Cueva de la Luz or Na Coloms. The name for the ‘Cave of Light’ was inspired by the beautiful reflections of sunlight that illuminate the whole cave – especially under the midday sun – creating a stunning blue glow. A group of five accomplished athletes of the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series, accompanied by the sport’s ambassador, Colombian legend Orlando Duque, met on Spain’s third largest Balearic Island, Ibiza. Australia’s four-time World Series champion Rhiannan Iffland, and David Colturi from the US, spend their time between competitions in Europe, so they teamed up with Gary Hunt representing France and the Spain-based divers Celia Fernandez and Jonathan Paredes in a quest to co...
Read MoreK2 conqueror Andrzej Bargiel has become the first person to climb the towering 6,178m Yawash Sar II peak in Pakistan before skiing down. The ski mountaineer summited K2 in 2018 without oxygen and skied from peak to base without removing his skis – a seemingly impossible challenge which had never been completed before. In 2018, a Polish expedition also set out for Yawash Sar II to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Polish independence by reaching the summit but plans were thwarted by avalanche conditions. This time, Bargiel and his Karakoram Ski Expedition team (with partner Jędrzej Baranowski , Darek Załuski, Kuba Gzela and Bartłomiej Pawlikowski) set off into the Karakoram mountain range 10 days before making history. Andrzej Bargiel seen skiing down Yawash Sar II during his ...
