Nationaal Monument MH17, Memorial site in Vijfhuizen Park, Netherlands.
The memorial consists of 298 trees arranged in a green ribbon pattern, with each tree representing a victim of flight MH17.
The National Monument MH17 was inaugurated on July 17, 2017, exactly three years after the aircraft incident that claimed 298 lives.
The memorial includes an amphitheater and a monument made of corten steel displaying the names of victims in a spiral pattern.
Located between Vijfhuizen village and Schiphol Airport, the monument remains accessible to visitors 24 hours every day throughout the year.
A ring of sunflowers surrounds the memorial, blooming annually around July 17, referencing the Ukrainian fields where the aircraft fragments were found.
