That it is aligned to north and depicts the indigenous people would seem to be an unlikely coincidence. That one of these formations is oriented to north is not unusual in itself. There are perhaps hundreds or even thousands of similar badlands formations in North America. Second, the formation is aligned to north. That it appears to represent the people native to the area is an interesting coincidence. Although the feature is thought to be the result of erosional processes there is much about it that is unusual.įirst is the visual form itself – that of a human figure, similar in appearance to the indigenous people from this part of Canada, wearing a headdress.
This feature known as the Badlands Guardian was first discovered in Google Earth imagery in 2005. Twenty-five miles east of the town of Medicine Hat in Alberta Canada is a landform that resembles a face looking due west. Figure 1 The Badlands Guardian is barely evident in Alberta’s earliest air photos taken in 1949-1951.

This series of articles discusses three surface features that resemble faces: a strange landform in Alberta Canada known as the Badlands Guardian that was discovered in 2005, a carved stone formation found by Daniel Ruzo on the Marcahuasi Plateau in Peru in the 1950s, and the Face on Mars, a mile-long structure on the surface of Mars first imaged by a Viking orbiter spacecraft in 1976.
