🌀 Geoglyphs of the World

These are notable geoglyphs — large designs and figures drawn on the land itself, made by arranging stones or scraping away dark surface rock to expose the pale ground beneath, from the celebrated hummingbird and spider of the Nazca Desert in Peru to the chalk hill figures, white horses and stone lines of other continents. Each profile shows where the drawing lies, which country it is in, and a plain-English introduction from Wikipedia.
