A daredevil who clearly has a head for heights is just a speck on the horizon as he stands on the tip of a sharp mountain peak. Thrill-seekers scaled the vertical mountain which is a perilous climb just to take in the surrounding views. Climbers who have braved the steep ascent must strap themselves in at the top of the mountain as there is barely room to stand. These daredevils threw their arms out wide when they reached the top of the famous Aiguille Dibona, a French mountain which stands a huge 10,270ft tall. From the top of the peak climbers are able to take in the stunning views of snowy mountain tops that surround them. The final climb to the top of the mountain takes around two hours and is only recommended for experienced climbers due to the vertical cliff face. These pictures were taken by photographer Thomas Vuillaume, 28, who dared to climb with his camera for the shots.

Flock of baikal teal ducks in the shape of a shark with the sun acting like its eye Flock of birds look like giant shark with sun as its eye, Jeonbuk, South Korea - Jan 2016 *Full story: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/s5ki A huge flock of hundreds of thousands of birds look just like a Great White shark - with a setting sun as its eye. The Baikal teal, a type of duck, were flying together past the sun for just a few minutes when they created the shape of a shark. The flock have migrated from their breeding grounds in eastern Siberia, Russia to spend the rest of the season in Jeonbuk, South Korea, where this photo was taken. The ducks choose the reservoir as a place to rest, feed and relax after a long journey. College student and photographer Jun Shik Shin was visiting the reservoir to see the impressive flock. The 25-year-old, of Seoul, South Korea, said: "The flock is made up of hundreds of thousands of birds. To me it looks like they have formed a freshwater fish who could be regarded as a shark.
