This is the shocking moment a baby was allowed to crawl perilously close to the edge of a steep cliff in Norway so that her parents could snap a keepsake photograph.
Dressed in a pink outfit and cap, the young child was accompanied by four adults, who were at least a few feet away from her, and would have faced certain death if she had rolled in the wrong direction. Hiker Fred Sirevag, who snapped the chilling photo on Saturday afternoon, said he couldn’t believe his eyes when he encountered the scene as he made his way up to Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock), a steep cliff that has a 1,982ft drop.
Mr Sirevag’s photo has been circulated online and in the Norwegian press, leaving people shocked and outraged that the baby was put in a dangerous situation at the tourist attraction.
He and his 11-year-old daughter were sitting down in a safe spot nearby when the family placed the baby, unaware of the danger that she faced, on the mountain ledge.
He said: ‘I saw the mother and she was putting the baby down close to the edge and backing up a little bit so the other lady could get a clean photo of the baby and the Pulpit Rock in the background.

700-year-old skeletons found holding hands:
A couple who have been holding hands for 700 years have been uncovered at a 'lost' chapel in Leicestershire.The centuries-old skeletons were unearthed at the Chapel of St Morrell, a site of pilgrimage in Hallaton during the 14th Century.Local volunteers had been digging the site, believed to be built on top of a Roman building, two weeks a year for four years. The chapel may have been an area of pilgrimage. Alternatively, the bodies might have been refused burial in the main church, perhaps because they were criminals, foreigners or sick.The skeletons are both believed to be of a similar age, but Ms Score said further analysis is needed to know how old they were at the time of death.They were discovered among nine other bodies from the same period.
