1. A reticulated python 6.6 m

   The world's longest snake, it kills by constriction, tightening with every breath its prey exhales.

   It grows up to 15 centimetres taller in summer because the iron expands in the heat.

3. The Millau Viaduct, France 2.5 km

   The tallest bridge in the world, its deck sometimes sits above the clouds that fill the valley below.

   Its summit is buried under permanent ice so thick that the official height changes slightly with the snow each year.

5. Aconcagua, Argentina 7 km

   The highest peak outside Asia, it can be hiked to the summit without ropes, yet thin air still kills climbers.
