Tokyo Skytree observation decks (Japan)
The Tokyo Skytree is the world’s third-tallest structure, with a
height of 2,080 feet (634 meters), and has Japan’s two tallest
observation decks: the lower one is located at 1,148 feet (350
meters) and has a section of glass flooring. The upper one, which
has floor-to-ceiling windows and 360-degree-views of the city,
has a height of 1476 feet (450 meters).
On a clear day, Mount Fuji can be seen from the observation
decks.
Cliffwalk (Canada)
The Cliffwalk is a 700-feet (213
meter) walkway attached to a
granite cliff face above the Cap-
ilano River in British Columbia,
Canada. The highest point is 300
feet (90 meters) above the river.
To attach the Cliffwalk, 16
anchor points were drilled 19 feet
(six meters) into the rock face
using 1,825 bolts, and 40 tons of
steel were used.
The Cliffwalk also features two
glass panels that have an anti-
skid finish and were shipped over
from Austria.
Dachstein Glacier Skywalk (Austria)
The Dachstein Glacier in Austria actually comprises eight glaciers
-- a visit to this high-altitude, glass-bottomed walkway is a great
way to see them all.
Visitors can see for hundreds of kilometers. On a clear day, the
Triglav mountains of Slovenia and the forests of the Czech Re-
public can be seen.
