Rio de Janeiro's Christ the Redeemer statue is back in all its glory after a $4 million renovation. Restoration on the 125-foot-tall monument began in April to fix small cracks and fungal damage and remove spray-painted graffiti. The 79-year-old statue, which stands atop the 2,300-foot-high Corcovado mountain overlooking Rio's white-sand beaches, was covered in scaffolding while some 100 workers undertook the restoration.
