A man has died after falling from a 604 metre high cliff in Norway that featured in a Mission Impossible movie. Preikestolen, known in English as Pulpit Rock, is a cliff in southwestern Norway overlooking the Lysefjord. It is one of Norway’s most famous mountain hikes, attracting more than 300,000 visitors a year. Local police have confirmed that a man in his 40s died at the site on Monday. The man was travelling alone and was found with his phone and ID.
Preikestolen is considered “the most iconic natural landmark in Norway”, according to the non-profit which manages the site. It grew in fame when it was featured in the sixth Mission Impossible film, starring Tom Cruise. It was used for an action sequence — doubling for Kashmir — at the end of 2018’s Mission: Impossible – Fallout, where the two central characters fall off the cliff. For the premiere of the film, 2000 people hiked 4km to the cliff to see it projected by lasers at night.
