For those who are seeking not only sightseeing but to test their limits and find the edges of the world that we live in, 2026 offers plenty of world record worthy adventures for adventurous and curious souls. This is for those who want to see the deepest, tallest, and biggest that our world has to offer. From inside deep caves to on the very top of buildings that reach for the sky, come join me in exploring the edge of the world! Let's dive into the deepest, and reach for the tallest with me in 2026!
Deep, Dark, and Dangerous: The Deepest Wonders Below
Hang Sơn Đoòng, Vietnam: The largest cave in the world!
Home to an underground river, and complete with a biosphere including forests growing in its large, cathedral-like ceilings, Hang Sơn Đoòng is the largest cave in the world with regards to volume. Located in the Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park in Vietnam, this deep crevasse in the earth could fit a 40-story building inside of it! While this cave system was recently discovered, it has long existed, burried deep within the earth.
A visit to Hang Sơn Đoòng would be world class in and of itself for those wanting to check off a world-class sightseeing adventure for 2026. While spending days upon days hiking this region to be able to witness this massive cave system is something that many would balk at, being able to see this wondrous hole in the ground with your own eyes would be something that would stay with me forever.
Krubera-Voronya (Cave), Abkhazia: The deepest cave in the world!
Located in the Arabika Massif in Abkhazia, the Krubera-Voronya Cave is the deepest cave in the world at an astonishing depth of 2,197 meters (7,208 feet). An unreal expedition into the deepest depths of the earth, Krubera-Voronya cave is the result of the perseverance of the world's best cavers. Even I, with my love for exploration, am jealous of such an adventure and expedition into the deepest parts of this incredible cave! For those who seek to experience first-hand the deepest, darkest, and most mysterious parts of this world and beyond, Krubera-Voronya cave offers that most amazing lifetime opportunity!
High Above the World: The Tallest Wonders of Them All
Buj Khalifa, Dubai, UAE: The tallest building in the world!
Standing a mighty 828 meters (2,717 feet) above the ground, the Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in the world, and by far the tallest building in Dubai's skyline. This amazing skyscraper attracts millions of visitors to its' "At the Top" observation decks which provide views of the city of Dubai, and the surrounding landscape which cannot be matched by any other building in the world. A visit to the Burj Khalifa would be an incredible opportunity for anyone who wants to have the most amazing views of the world around them! As the tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa offers unrivaled views from virtually all parts of its structure for those that seek them.
Jeddah Tower, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia: The world's first "kilometer-high" building soon to be the next tallest!
While the Burj Khalifa in Dubai may be the tallest building in the world, that title may not stay with it for very long if the Jeddah Tower in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia has anything to say about it! Set to be the world's first "kilometer-high" building in height, the Jeddah Tower has had its' opening date postponed several times in recent years. While its predicted opening in 2026 is several years away from now, the hope is that the completion of this building will be realized sooner rather than later, because the Jeddah Tower would be an unreal adventure for those who seek the most extreme experiences in the world of tall buildings!
For those who seek the extremes of human innovation in the realm of very tall buildings, the Jeddah Tower skyscraper in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia is the building for you! While it may not be finished in the year 2026, the completion of the world's first "kilometer-high" building is an incredible experience that I know you wouldn't want to miss!
Seeking the Extreme Adventure
All of the world record worthy adventures that I have listed above are only a taste of what is available for the curious and adventurous soul in 2026. These experiences are for those who want to see, do, and experience more than the everyday tourist. From getting up close and personal with an underground river system to being able to witness the most amazing views in the world, these incredible adventures of the extreme are worth experiencing, not only for the adventure they entail but for the awe-inspiring sights that lie at their ends. Those who are seeking the extreme can come along with me in my quest for the edges of the world in 2026!
