Utah monolith, Metal sculpture in Lockhart Basin, US.
The three-meter tall stainless steel triangular prism structure stood against the red sandstone cliffs of the Utah desert, reflecting sunlight from its polished surfaces.
State biologists conducting a helicopter survey of bighorn sheep discovered the metal structure in November 2020, after it remained unnoticed for four years.
The mysterious metal structure sparked international discussions about unauthorized art installations in natural spaces and their impact on public lands.
The Bureau of Land Management removed the structure due to safety concerns and unauthorized use of public land, following increased visitor traffic to the remote location.
Internet investigators used satellite imagery and geographical data to locate the structure, leading to an influx of visitors before its removal on November 27, 2020.
