Here’s another weird finding on Google Earth. Somewhere in Alberta, Canada you can spot mountains or large hills that look like the face of an Indian.
It looks pretty real, even a lot more realistic than the face on Mars, IMO. It’s also pretty big; I used the measure tool in Google Earth to measure the size of the Native American’s forehead and it’s about 225 meters (0.14 miles) long.
You can check it out in Google Maps or just enter 50° 0′38.20″N 110° 6′48.32″W in Google Earth. And like someone in our comment section said, with a bit of imagination, you can see he has an earbud in his ear! (Maybe he’s listening to his iPod?) [Source: DarkVision Hardware]

About 1.4 miles WNW of the Indian face is what looks like a Viking’s face with a helmet, on pretty much the same scale.
Using the “Terrain” feature, it appears that the faces are actually bas relief renderings (lower than the surroundings). Don’t know who would indulge in this sort of creative terraforming.

From mapquest you can still make out the Indian Head, just to the right of the star in the link below.
