Unbelievable Photos for Those Who (Don’t) Fear Heights

@jacob / Instagram

There are two types of people in the world: those who have no fear of heights and those who squeeze their eyes shut when the scenery gets a little out of their comfort zone.

Which one are you?

If the following photos make you say, “let’s do it!” or “oh, heck no!” you’ll have your answer.

The beaches bordering the Aegean and Mediterranean seas of Turkey are swoon-worthy, but @bashirchoucair prefers the view from the top.

If you look closely, you’ll see a dot on the sand, which would be us with our feet firmly on the sand.

Is this a single-file line to death?

Red Bull kayaker Rafa Ortiz deemed Tomata II one of the six scariest waterfalls in the world, and by this photo, we can easily see why!

Surely, the Caribbean-bordering Mexican state has less frightening things to do?

Which is worse? Is it @dailaojeda‘s death-defying climb or the twisty-turvy route that seems to get her there?

Shown here is the Giau Pass, which has an elevation of 7,336 feet in the province of Belluno, Italy.

Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park is 14,000 coastal acres featuring an old-growth forest. Like, seriously old-growth. The giant sequoias are more than 1,500 years old!

But that doesn’t mean everyone should start climbing these nearly 300-foot beasts.
