A Spanish man has become the first person to die at Norway's famous 1,982ft tourist attraction.
The holidaymaker reportedly disappeared off the side of the steep mountain plateau while taking photos on Tuesday afternoon.
Preikestolen, in English known as Preacher's Pulpit or Pulpit Rock, is a cliff that hangs 600 meters above Lysefjorden, East of Stavanger. Even though a two-hour hike is required to get there, it is one of the most visited tourist attractions in Norway.
The site reports that the Spanish tourist, who'd joined a group he'd met in Stavanger, was about to leave the mountaintop when he said he was just going to take a few more photos. His companions said they suddenly heard a scream, and that he disappeared over the edge.
His body was found on Wednesday by mountain climbers and a Sea King helicopter and was taken to Stavanger University Hospital for an autopsy.
Local sheriff Odd-Bjørn Næss said it was the first time anyone had accidentally fallen over the edge of Preikestolen.
As many as 200,000 people visit the attraction every year. The flat granite plateau rises 600 metres above the Lyse Fjord, and was formed during the ice age 10,000 years ago.
