美国南达科他州的拉什莫尔山素有“总统山”的美称。这里雕刻着美国四位著名总统的头像，但总统山的魅力以后也许会被附近规模更为庞大的雕像所超越。它就是距总统山27公里的“疯马”雕像。虽然早在57年前它就破山动工，但因为工程浩大，进展缓慢。

The Crazy Horse Memorial is a mountain monument complex that is under construction on privately held land in the Black Hills, in Custer County, South Dakota. It depicts Crazy Horse, an Oglala Lakota warrior, riding a horse and pointing into the distance. The memorial was commissioned by Henry Standing Bear, a Lakota elder, to be sculpted by Korczak Ziolkowski. It is operated by the Crazy Horse Memorial Foundation, a private non-profit organization.
% O5 q8 k# z& N! @, X6 C2 Ytvb now,tvbnow,bttvbThe memorial consists of the mountain carving (monument), the Indian Museum of North America, and the Native American Cultural Center. The monument is being carved out of Thunderhead Mountain on land considered sacred by some Oglala Lakota, between Custer and Hill City, roughly 17 miles from Mount Rushmore. The sculpture's final dimensions are planned to be 641 feet (195 m) wide and 563 feet (172 m) high. The head of Crazy Horse will be 87 feet (27 m) high; by comparison, the heads of the four U.S. Presidents at Mount Rushmore are each 60 feet (18 m) high.6 F! E: i) \! V0 ^# S" K* j
The monument has been in progress since 1948 and is far from completion. Completion is expected in 2420. If completed, it may become the world's largest sculpture, as well as the first non-religious statue to hold this record since 1967.
