Poland

  • Giewont, a mountain whose shape resembles a lying human, associated with a legend of the sleeping knight[1]

United Kingdom

The Sleeping Warrior — the profile of Arran,[2] here seen from Bute
  • The Old Man of Hoy in Orkney is a rock pillar that from certain angles is said to resemble a standing man.[3]
  • Queen Victoria's Rock on the Isle of Barra is a rock formation near Northbay on the north side of the A888, looking toward the west, which resembles the profile of the elderly Queen Victoria.[4]
  • The Winking Man Rock formation (also known as the Winking Eye[5]) is part of the Ramshaw Rocks section of The Roaches. It looks like a face sticking out of the hillside, and as you travel past in a car towards Buxton the 'eye' appears to wink, as a pinnacle of rock passes behind the face as a consequence of parallax.[6][5] A public house near Ramshaw Rocks at Upper Hulme takes its name from the Winking Man rock.[7]
  • The Sleeping Warrior is the profile of the peaks of the island of Arran.[2]
