This is the 3200ft (979m) high Angel Falls in Venezuela – the world’s highest. Close by are the similarly vertiginous Dragon Falls and Cortina Falls. It’s the landscape that inspired Pixar’s Up.

AirPano have an incredible 360º hi-res interactive panorama which (if you have a half decent internet connection) you should check out this minute.

Get your vertigo on here.
