LONDON (2 November 2017) — In the 188-page December 2017 issue of National Geographic Traveller (UK), we eschew the pristine pistes and embrace the season with some of the world's most extreme ice adventures.

ALSO INSIDE THIS ISSUE:

Destinations: We venture into Namibia's stark, sweltering desert; travel to the eastern limit of Europe to Romania; and spend a long weekend in Ireland's County Mayo. Our picture story, meanwhile, captures Sri Lanka's hill country.

Cities: Our urban highlights this issue include Munich, Auckland, Palermo and Chicago.

Smart Traveller: New off-grid travel experiences; the new Civil Rights trail in the US; the best rooms in Genoa; a tour of Hong Kong's street art; the top five dining options in Dallas; and a trip to Lavenham.

Author Series: Andrew May on Mars.

Travel Geeks: Ask the Experts includes tips on travel to Tunisia, the best place for New Year's Eve with friends, plus the cheapest long-haul destination and jiggers.
