n a trip to Svalbard in 2017, I was struck by the unspoilt beauty of this Arctic archipelago lying between Norway and the North Pole. It was like
a scene from Narnia: huge, meringue-like peaks as far as the eye could see, glaciers, icebergs and violet skies streaked with aurora in a silent, true wilderness. Plus, I only fell off the snowmobile once — a noteworthy achievement for me. When a destination is as untouched as this, adventure
has a special kind of appeal. It’s this raw, pared-back approach to adventure that inspired this issue’s cover story (p.32), in which the natural elements are channelled to offer adventure at its most distilled, from volcanic peaks to lush jungles, airborne adventures and frozen, polar landscapes. We also get a head for heights in Ethiopia (p.50), find out how to get your thrills in the big city (p.26) and take a look at how the adventure travel industry is shaping up to become more accessible for all (p.78). So next time you find yourself snowmobiling through
remote Norwegian islands, take a minute to appreciate the purity of it all — and try not to fall off.
