Statue of Liberty. Statue alone or statue plus pedestal? Always check where the measurement starts.

Statue of Unity. This is the statue-only view. Liberty and Christ the Redeemer use pedestal-inclusive records.

The artwork is interpretive. The scene preserves relative vertical scale, while the source definitions explain differences such as antennas, pedestals, launch configurations, and fictional versions.
