contents This paper primarily investigates the geometric properties of excursions of Lévy processes reflected at the past infimum with long lifetime or large height. For an oscillating process in the domain of attraction of a stable law, our results state that excursions with a long lifetime need not have a large height. After a suitable scaling, they behave like stable excursions with lifetime or height greater than one. These extend the related results in Doney and Rivero [Prob. Theory Relat. Fields, 157(1) (2013) 1-45]. In contrast, for the negative-drift case we prove that under a heavy-tailed condition, long lifetime and large height are asymptotically equivalent. Conditioned on either event, excursions converge under spatial scaling to a single-jump process with Pareto-distributed jump size and size-biased jump time. Moreover, after a suitable time rescaling, the effect of the negative drift becomes apparent.
