Extreme winter activity

Thinking of wingsuit flying this winter?

You my be planning more conventional activities this winter, for example skiing trips, but this Red Bull adventurist and base jumper achieved a well anticipated dream of his last week. In temperatures of –30c, Valery Rozov base jumped from the top of Antarctica’s Mount Ulvetanna and became the first man to do so. Valery first had to climb the 2931m high mountain before plummeting to the ground from the peak in his Red Bull wingsuit, ‘I felt like an astronaut’ Valery was quoted after taking the plunge. For more information on the stunt, here is the full article.
