Norway’s Grand Canyon, Pulpit Rock, Could Vanish

  • 7 years ago
Norway's Preikestolen, or Pulpit Rock, is a 1,982-foot-tall cliff rising over Lysefjord in Rogaland county. According to the Geological Survey of Norway (NGU), Pulpit Rock is in danger of collapsing. A crack initially discovered in 1930 recently widened despite the insertion of bolts. Pulpit Rock is home to views that rival the Grand Canyon. Erosion, climate change, and the site's popularity have taken their toll on the attraction.
