Two tourists are lucky to be alive after a camera captured them getting caught by a huge wave in the Canary Islands. The pair were spotted standing on the precipice of a 66-foot cliff in Faro de Sardina del Norte, in Gran Canaria, The Daily Mail reports. The newspaper says that according to local outlets, they ignored warning signs and navigated past protective fencing. One can be seen standing perilously close to the edge as the other sits on a rock behind, seemingly taking a photograph as the gathering tumult finally swells to a crescendo before slamming into the rock face and sending a tower of water high above them. The dramatic scene shows the water coming down on top of the pair as people standing further back can be heard shouting in fear. Canarias 1500 Km de Costa, the association for the prevention of accidents in the region’s aquatic environments, said, “Once again, lives are put at risk by ignoring safety barriers at one of the most dangerous points on our coastline.”
