Fact: Sleeping Lady shaped mountain seen in the post is a digitally created photo version of Alaska’s Mount Susitna, which is famously known as ‘The Sleeping Lady’ mountain. It was created by a digital artist named Jean-Michel Bihorel. Hence the claim made in the post is FALSE.

In the website, this photo was shared in ‘Winter Sleep’ album collection, created by a digital artist named Jean Michel Bihorel. Video showing this digital version of ‘The Sleeping Lady’ mountain was posted in the YouTube channel of Jean Michel Bihorel.

In the Portfolio of Bihorel, this photo was shared inside the album of ‘Winter Sleep’.  Sharing the same photo, ‘Art Station’ social media website also credited the photo to Jean-Michel Bihorel.
