Mt Fuji Summit
Mount Fuji is the tallest mountain in Japan and possibly one of the most iconic peaks on Earth. Although the views from Mt. Fuji are nothing particularly special compared to other mountains in Japan, the sunrise from the top is biblical and is more than worth the trek to the top.

Sulphur Banks

Kīlauea Iki
Kīlauea Iki is a smaller caldera located next to the larger more active Kīlauea caldera. Since the Kīlauea caldera floor has been closed to hikers due to volcanic activity, Kīlauea Iki is as close as you're going to get. The Kīlauea Iki trail starts on the crater rim and drops down to the caldera floor. You get to walk across the entire breadth of the caldera floor seeing different kinds of lava, stream vents, sulphur, and all that volcanic goodness.

This after surviving one of the most incredible small jounrney in history after his crew were marooned on Elephant Island (Antarctica), after a failed attempt to enter the Weddell Sea to cross the Antarctican continent. This walk is the last section of this epic journey across South Georgia Island to the Stromness Whaling Station.

Mt Tomanivi
At 4,344ft Mt Tomanivi is Fiji's highest mountain and is located on the Central Northern part of the island between Nadi and Suva. The mountain is frequently engulfed in clouds and storms making it muddy and slippery almost year round. That being said there is a well marked track to the summit with a nice clearing at the top that offers a 360 degree view on clear days.

Castle Rock Loop
I worked for the Australian Antarctic Division in 2009/10 and undertook this walk whilst transiting through the US base, McMurdo Station, on route to Casey Station. We were not given permission to do the full loop and walked half way and returned. I just wanted to share although I know that it is not accessible to everyone.
