Have you ever heard of Pulpit Rock, in Norway? It overlooks one of their beautiful coastline fjords. I never knew about it..

There are no guardrails. Surprisingly, there have been very few accidental falls, although several suicides.

The Norwegians are known for their hardiness, but oh my goodness. There is no way I could lounge as close to the edge as many of those hikers do.

What about you?

I might go there, if I could stay in the very middle of the stone "platform", and not budge, but would still feel 'queasy', I think.

One of the "Mission: Impossible" films had Tom Cruise scaling that side of Pulpit Rock's cliff. Wonder if he works with a net, ha.

The majestic beauty of nature can at least be enjoyed from a distance...

NO!!

Ha, ha, I hear you, @PA Mom-mom . I may be TOO risk-averse, but it's perplexing to me that some would deliberately go so close to the edge as to risk a mis-step.... ack.

There's also a huge crack in the rock and is though by. some experts to be unstable. Imagine the front of that hunk of rock breaking off and falling into the fijord below. What a splash it would make!

It would take a lot of stamina just to hike up to that location.

Wow ..... and no way, Jose!

Even a mild breeze would make me nervous .... although I bet drone photography done at different angles would be astounding!

There would be a big splash alright. Then a bunch of little splashes if you know what I mean. After that there would be quite a tsunami down in the bay.
