The "Northumberlandia" project owes its origins to open-cast mining: The earth lying above the mineral resources to be mined (e.g., coal seams) – known in technical terms as "overburden" – is typically stored on a so-called "overburden dump." Europe's largest artificial mountain, "Sophienhöhe," was created this way in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. As a landscape project, the overburden was used to create a reclining female figure called "Northumberlandia." However, from a ground perspective, little will be visible on site. To experience the outline of the sculpture of the lady, also known as the "Lady of the North," there is a plan sketch on the official website, which I have imported into the komoot image gallery (source: https://www.northumberlandia.com/ ).

The 360 views are incredible. It's right on a flight path so you can see lots of aeroplanes coming into land at low altitude.
