VERTIGO INDUCING: Lee Thompson snapping perhaps the most epic selfie ever, atop Christ the Redeemer in Rio.

A heart-stopping, stomach-churning selfie taken atop Rio’s Christ the Redeemer statue has gone viral for its vertigo and awe-inducing vantage point. 

It’s being described as perhaps the most epic selfie ever, and for good reason: With the permission of Brazil’s tourism board, Briton Lee Thompson climbed to the top of the country’s most iconic monument and snapped an arm’s length selfie of himself that reveals the scale of the statue’s height from sea level.
