Dragon priest mask from Skyrim.

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.

Tansface?
That would be like a Democrat.First they foul their nest,then they sneak in and foul yours.
Watch the puffy clouds sometime - the imagination runs wild.
Well, IMO, it’s a leadpipe cinch that wind and water erosion didn’t do it. Whoever sculpted that image had some talent and skills.
Hank Gus of the Tseshaht First Nation had heard about the "face in the rocks" years ago.Glad to hear that millennia-old oral tradition is so complete and reliable. Sidebar:
Looks to me like it was created by the Pareidolia people.
Well, going by the background and such, it’s obviously a trick of light and shadow.... on Mars.
Give me a beer, would ya Sam.
Nope, obviously the *Martians have landed!!!* Yaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Run for it!!!
Hi, my name is Cliff.
Drop over some time.
I’d like a better view of the second eye, and whether it has an eyebrow similar to the left one. An as someone already said, an expert needs to climb up there and see if there are marks of carving, chiseling, etc.
Definitely. It’s difficult to believe someone would have gone to the trouble of carving a face in that spot and not made it level.
I see three faces!
...plus Rock Hudson and Montgomery Cliff....(I know, I know....)
