Valleys form the shape of a human head

Nature yields some strange things, but this one is way spooky. What you see here is not some masterpiece of mankind, but one of Mother Earth.

Situated 25 miles east of Medicine Hat in Alberta, Canada, near the Saskatchewan border at 50° 0′38.20″N 110° 6′48.32″W,

this extraordinary phenomenon is clearly in the shape of a human head, 1000 feet wide, complete with feathered headress, and facing westward.

Is this a formation of one of the ancient gods? How did it get there? Is it really just a natural oddity, or was it carved there for some purpose thousands of years ago? Sadly, we may never know the answers to these questions. But it’s sure worth pondering…at least it is for me!

Using my Google Earth program to view it at a lower angle almost level with the earth, you can see that it is formed by valleys rather than raised ground, as it looks from above.

I’m certain this anomaly has made it’s rounds across the world wide web, but I had not seen it before today. It’s definitely something to share with those who have appreciation for such things.
