heads free of large fissures that were uncovered. However, not all the cracks could be avoided,<br />

so Borglum concocted a mixture of granite dust, white lead, and linseed oil to fill them.<br />

Every winter, water from melting snows gets into the fissures and expands as it freezes,<br />

making the fissures bigger. Consequently, every autumn maintenance work is done to refill the<br />

cracks. The repairers swing out in space over a 500-foot drop and fix the monument with the<br />

same mixture that Borglum used to preserve <strong>thi</strong>s national monument for future generations.<br />
