A pair of Russian photographers climbed Rio de Janeiro's iconic Christ the Redeemer statue back in May.

Vadim Makhorov and Vitaliy Rashkov waited until nightfall, entering a staircase and then managing to reach the shoulder of the statue. The footage of their climb has only recently appeared and shows some breathtaking views of the Brazilian city.
