    Spanish tourist first to die at Norway's Pulpit Rock

    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.
