Everyone remembers him as the man behind the E=mc2 equation, but visitors to a mountain in the Austrian Alps might recall the famous physicist for entirely different reasons.

Einstein isn’t the first famous historical figure to have his physical likeness etched into the side of a mountain, of course, but unlike Mount Rushmore in the United States, the image of Einstein on the 7,700ft Grimming peak in the Austrian Alps is entirely accidental.

Granted, it takes a big flight of imagination to spot the similarities between the mountainside and old Albie, but when pictured alongside one another, as they are in The Sun today, there is a definite resemblance.

Given the importance of the snow in forming the likeness, it would appear to be susceptible to the weather and mightn’t last very long, but it doesn’t take Einstein to work that out.
