Can you imagine taking a leap of of this massive cliff. Many people do....but not me! :)

I crawled out to the edge of this cliff, known as Preikestolen or Pulpit Rock, and looked down. I don't think there's any way I would have dared to base jump. This cliff is located on the fjord called Lysefjorden near Stavanger, Norway and is a massive 604 metres (1982 feet) above the fjord.

This is probably the coolest place I've ever been. Definitely worth the 2+ hour hike...and I was very fortunate to be there on such a clear day as it is often quite foggy up this high.
