In the Black Hills of South Dakota, less than a half-hour drive down the road from Mount Rushmore, just 17 miles away, another colossal mountain sculpture—the largest sculptural project in history—is taking shape.

The Crazy Horse Memorial officially began taking shape in 1948. No one is predicting when it will be completed.
