For most of us, a hammock is something we associate with naps and relaxation. But as you can see in the images below, there are some who take it to the extreme. National Geographic released a series of photos where hammocks are taken to the next level, handing dangerously over cliffs or bodies of water. These extreme images were submitted by various users for National Geographic’s Your Shot project. Head over to the site for more.
