Was it created by man, or by Mother Nature? That's what many are wondering about a giant face that appears to be carved into a cliff on a remote island near Vancouver Island.
Hank Gus of the Tseshaht First Nation had heard about the "face in the rocks" years ago. A Washington State kayaker stumbled upon the face back in 2008 while paddling past Reeks Island in the Broken Group Islands.
Gus had been searching for the carving for two years. Then, just a few weeks ago, he finally found the hidden treasure and took a cellphone video of the seven-foot-tall face carved into a cliff.
"It's quite noticeable from the water; It's pretty large," he says.
"It's about 40 feet up and from the top of the cliff, and it's about another 20 or 25 feet down, at least. It's high up and there's bunch of rock cliffs on the side and it's so hard to access."
When the kayaker stumbled upon the carving, she took pictures and sent them to Parks Canada but wasn't able to pinpoint the precise location. Parks Canada knew the island was in traditional First Nation territory, so contacted the Tseshaht administration office.
Gus finally found the carving a few weeks ago. He says, to him, the face appears to be blowing, and is perhaps a symbol of wind. The face reminds him of a wood carving on the door of the Tseshaht administration offices.
"It's something really similar to this face in the rock. Its name is Ugi and it describes when it's blowing the wind, it's sharing the history of our ancestors and keeping it alive," he explained.

It’s not really a face. It’s merely symbolic of a face and it was never even symbolic until somebody saw it and thought it looked like a face.
How ya doin, Cliff?!!

“Face value” being the key words.

I think it’s just one of those things that happen randomly like the virgin mother on the piece of toast.
I sure close up someone could discern if it was carved.
I think that is a natural formation that’s probably been there long before man. Therefore, at one time it didn’t look like anything.
I’m sure close up someone could discern if it was carved.
