Also viewable from Google Earth is

Robert Smithson

Spiral Jetty, 1970

(via referenceartgallery)

It is wide enough for one truck to drive on it.  How else would Robert Smithson have slowly transported all the sediment to make the greatest earthwork art of modern time?  Created in 1970 as an installment that would naturally waste away, it is still viewable today from an airplane and Google Earth.
