The number of unusual locations and experiences on Airbnb range from the mundane to the downright challenging. Here are five unexpected, stunning, and perhaps somewhat dangerous places that allow you to boast you have done and seen things none of your friends has.

Nuuk, Greenland

You may not associate wifi and television with Greenland, but they are available in this Airbnb. There is a view of the sea and arctic mountains at this Airbnb, so you may want to forego watching TV. Situated on fjord overlooking the Labrador Sea, the natural surroundings of Nuuk are both at once beautiful and hardscrabble. The advanced hiker could experience wildlife at the top of the world firsthand. Reindeer, seals, musk oxen, whales are some of the creatures who call Greenland home. Polar Bears do inhabit the areas around Nuuk, but they rarely venture into town.

Puerto Williams- Navarino Island, Chile

At the other end of the globe is Puerto Williams, in the Antarctic region. Puerto Williams is the world’s southernmost city and a very unique experience. This Airbnb is a little more primitive than Nuuk, but it provides adequate shelter. Puerto Williams is quite literally at the end of the world and has the hauntingly beautiful scenery to prove it. Glaciers (six in all) cover vast swaths of Navarino Island and are why it has become a popular tourist destination in recent years. These giant glassy swirls of blue and white cling to cliffs and descend into the sea. If you arrive at the right time of year, when the weather has just begun to warm, giant meltwater waterfalls cascade down the sides of the cliffs creating a
spectacular scene. As with Nuuk, Puerto Williams is a prime location for experienced hikers to explore. Sea Lions and Penguins are the two forms of wildlife that most visitors to the island want to see, but whales and dolphins can also be viewed from a boat or shoreline. If you’re going to forget about civilisation, Puerto Williams is the place to do it.
