An aerial image captures the Christ the Redeemer statue on Corcovado mountain in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The large, light-colored statue of Jesus Christ with outstretched arms stands centrally on a dark, multi-tiered pedestal. Surrounding the statue's base is an expansive concrete and stone observation plaza, featuring multiple levels, walkways, and staircases. Hundreds of individuals, appearing as small figures in various casual attire, populate this plaza, standing and moving. Below the plaza, the mountain's steep slopes are covered in dense, dark green tropical rainforest interspersed with rocky outcrops. More forested mountains extend into the background. A small building and scaffolding are visible on a lower rock face beneath the main observation deck to the right. The scene is illuminated by natural daylight.
