These really are "epic" selfies.

From a blog (which also has video) about how two guys ended up being allowed to go inside and up the 98-foot statue to the very top:

"As I popped my head out of the hole in Jesus’ crown, I was in total and utter awe as my eyes met with a vast panorama that quite literally took my breath away. Talk about a religious experience! I’ve never been afraid of heights or tight spaces, but experiencing acrophobia, claustrophobia and profound awe at the same time was something truly remarkable."
