City-hopping thrill-seekers amass Instagram fans with extreme skyscraper selfies

A team of daring photographers from Russia have amassed hundreds of thousands of fans after they started sharing their sky-high selfies on Instagram.

Friends Kirill Oreshkin, Ivan Beerkus, and Angela Nikolau snap their travels from atop skyscrapers, cranes, and even the Eiffel Tower, offering their followers a different, somewhat dizzying perspective of cities like Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Paris.

Between them, they have more than half a million followers.

While the trio seem perfectly content to share the world from way up high (Nikolau told Lonely Planet she hasn't been afraid of heights since she scaled a roof in the seventh grade), we don't recommend trying it for yourself next time you take a trip.
