Glacier Bar

Rather than just your drinks, Reyka is putting the whole bar on the rocks. The Icelandic spirit brand is opening the world's first establishment on a glacier. For just five days, adventurous vodka drinkers can travel to 64.565653°N, 20.024822°W. The coordinates will lead to an orange A-frame on Iceland's Langjökull — the country's second-largest glacier — where there'll undoubtedly be serving chilled Reyka cocktails. While you can attempt the trek alone, the company is currently taking applications for a select few to make the trip along with them. Tabs will be open from October 16th to the 20th.

Heart Island Reef Experience

Heart Reef is one of Australia's most Instagrammable destinations but until recently, the only way to catch a glimpse of it was with a quick fly by. With the Heart Island Reef Experience, guests of Hamilton Island can get unprecedented access to the natural wonder. It starts with a helicopter ride over Whitehaven Beach and Hill Inlet before landing on a helipad above the Heart Island pontoon — a private lair floating adjacent to the main attraction. Upon arrival, up to six people will have 90 minutes to tour the coral formation. This includes a glass-bottom boat ride and a snorkel around the lagoon. If there's still time left, enjoy the views from inside the pontoon and take advantage of its undercover swimming pool.

Navy SEAL for a Day Adventure

Vacations are meant to escape your everyday life. That can mean sipping Mai Tais poolside or jumping out of helicopters. For those who prefer the latter, the Navy SEAL for a Day Adventure has you covered. The Four Seasons Oahu at Ko Olina has partnered with Trident Adventures to give guests a full sea, air, and land experience. Owned by two former Navy SEALs, the company spends an hour training you like one of their own before a full day of tactical shooting, skydiving, scuba diving, and helicopter jumps — taking in views of the Hawaiian island from 10,000 feet in the air to below the water's surface along the way. If you're looking to just deep your toe into the SEAL lifestyle, they also offer each experience in individual packages.

Virgin Galactic Spaceport America

The race to be the first viable commercial human spaceflight company is on, and with Spaceport American, Virgin Galactic hopes to get there first. It's set on 27 square miles of New Mexico desert, with a Foster + Partners-designed building — dubbed the Gateway to Space — as the highlight. The Gateway serves as a vehicle hangar, mission control, and a hub for astronaut training and preparation. Like any good aviation hub, it also appears to have a lounge from which you can enjoy a drink while watching the flights come and go.

Airspeeder Racing Series

Slated to hit the skies within 18 months, Airspeeder hopes to be the world's race of flying cars. The race vehicles will come in both quadcopter and coaxial octocopter versions, will measure roughly 13 feet long by 11.5 feet wide, and will be clad in lightweight bodywork inspired by mid-century racers. Weight is expected to be roughly 500 pounds without the pilot, although with a 500-watt discharge rate expected from the batteries, they should have no trouble hitting speeds up to 120 mph. Manned demonstrations are planned for this November, with both time trial and head-to-head races expected once the series gets going next year.

Antarctica Solar Eclipse Cruise

During the winter of 2021, the next big solar eclipse will take place. The problem is, it can only be viewed from Antarctica. Well, Poseidon Expeditions has a solution with their Antarctica Solar Eclipse Cruise. The 23-day voyage sets sail on the M/V Sea Spirit from the world's southernmost city. From there, guests will journey to the Falkland Islands and spend two days making friends with the local penguins and seals. After a journey across the Southern Ocean and a stop at South Georgia Island, the boat will anchor in the Scotia Sea on the narrow path of totality to view the celestial phenomenon from the most remote spot on Earth. The boat will then continue on to Antarctica for stops at the South Shetland Islands, the Antarctic Peninsula, and the Drake Passage before its final port back in Argentina.

The Charter Oak

At The Charter Oak, chef Christopher Kostow departs from his usual fine dining fare for a more simplified experience. Instead of fussy, delicate dishes, think charred, seasonal food. A hearth designed by chef Kostow fills the exposed-brick dining room with the smoky aroma of roasted local meats and vegetables from their 2-and-a-half acre garden. Meals can also be enjoyed al fresco on the expansive patio where dishes are prepared on a custom-built outdoor grill. Plates highlight one or two ingredients at a time and everything is served family-style, so sharing is encouraged.

The custom Airbus A321LR will house only 48 seats, designed by Optimares and covered in Italian leather from Poltrona Frau. The seats fold completely flat for sleeping, and otherwise, each has its own personal ottoman for more comfortable face-to-face engagement.

To take advantage of the ever-present views, vessels are fitted with a sundeck and a forward observation lounge while dining rooms feature panoramic windows to display the scenery.

If cozying up to a Komodo dragon or sitting in on a crocodile initiation ceremony is more up your alley, True North also offers trips to the Indonesian Archipelago, Papua New Guinea, and Western Australia.

Black Star Car Wash

It looks a little like the inside of a strip club, but Moscow's best rides don't come to the underground Black Star Car Wash to get dirty — they come to get clean. Greta Project's white light/neon and black interior design makes it easy to spot any areas that need extra attention, while clear shower curtains keep any water from splashing onto just-dried cars. A tastefully appointed cafe gives owners a place to hang out while their vehicles are attended to, with full-height glass letting them keep a watchful eye on the proceedings.

Porsche 50 Years of the 917 Exhibition

Porsche's dominance of endurance racing started in earnest in 1969 with the release of the 917. Powered by an indestructible flat-12, the 917 notched its first win at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1970 with a sweep of the podium. The 917's influence would continue to be felt decades later, with closed-cockpit prototype sportscars bearing a resemblance to the car. In honor of the 50th anniversary of the 917's unveiling at the Geneva Auto Show, Porsche has spent the last year restoring 917-001, the first 917 built, with a team including the some of the original engineers and technicians. Modern technology was used along with the original drawings to analyze and recreate parts where needed and keep those that were still in proper shape. The 917 is to be presented at the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart, Germany, where it will take its place among all the other legendary cars to come from the Porsche factory over the years.
