Reminiscent of the late Anthony Bourdain's global food safaris that paired a love of food with cultural immersion, Austrian ski pro Fabian Lentsch journeyed to Tehran to immerse himself in Iran's rich culture.

Take a look at the best content that landed this past week, from the world of Red Bull. // Photographer: Victoria Kohner-Flanagan, Athlete: Jack Nugent, Location: Bishop, CA, United States About the shot: My friends and I spent the winter of 2021 living communally in an assortment of vans and cars amidst the Buttermilk's monstrous granite boulders in Bishop, California. Our days looked like this: wake up, drink coffee, go climb. With our bouldering season coming to a close, as the snow melted and thoughts of long Yosemite climbs loomed, Jack grew eager to test his fitness on 'Queen of Heartbreaks' in Pine Creek Canyon. Before tying into the sharp end Jack was clearly nervous. From the ground, the route's 39 meters were daunting and blank. The holds remained obscured to me even as I ascended the fixed line to find the best position to shoot from. The sky darkened and the winds picked up as Jack stepped onto the climb for his onsight attempt. Questing up the blank face, Jack found a cheeky no hands rest. Doubt cleared from his face as I snapped the shot. Even as it started raining upwards, Jack cruised to the chains. All images are free for editorial use in the context of Red Bull Illume.

Take a look at the best content that landed this past week, from the world of Red Bull. // Photographer: Karim Iliya, Athlete: Brock Carlson, Location: Vava'u, Tonga About the shot: Hidden away from the world, is an underwater cave where time seems to stop and gravity sleeps. While the world around you is frozen and the fish suspended in the blue space, only the light beams dance, reminding you of the passage of time. I'd been to this cave over a hundred times and yet I'd never seen anything like this. Freediver Brock Carlson placed his fins in a crevice above the water, we took a few deep breaths and dove down. I was lost in the scene which looked like a portal to another world. Time stopped and I forgot my breath. I watched him standing on the pinnacle looking up into the beams for a while. This was one of the few moments in life when the absolute beauty of a place took hold of me and I almost forgot to take a photo. I thought about how we live on a planet floating through space full of indescribable beauty. We call our planet earth, but most of its surface is covered by water. We drink it, and can submerge ourselves to visit a world full of strange wonders. For the duration that we can hold our breath, we shed the burden of gravity and can move ourselves in a three-dimensional space. Water gives us freedom to move in all directions, like an astronaut looking out to distant worlds. All images are free for editorial use in the context of Red Bull Illume.
