Whatever the case, the Badlands Guardian is the epitome of a geological wonder. There’s a legend that states that ancient aliens may have been responsible for its formation. Some people have suggested that the image resembles ancient Mayan art. Watching the image, one can see its mouth, nose, eye, and outlines of the eyebrow, neck, and shoulders. The head of the image is a drainage feature resulting from rainwater erosion of the clay-rich soil surrounding it. The reason for this is that no human being has ever been a part of its creation. Although the Indian head features a lot of humanoid characteristics, man cannot take credit for its formation. For one to observe this geological feature, they have to see it from the air. Apparently, the “earphones” are a road and an oil well built in its vicinity. The “face” measures 255 meters across and 225 meters in length. The individual looks like to be wearing earphones and it faces west. The Badlands Guardian is an image with the semblance of a human head wearing indigenous Canadian headdress. The probability of it becoming a tourist destination is still low. The current threat to the Badlands Guardian is the drilling of natural gas in the area. Besides the belief that it is a geographic formation, there is a myth that ancient aliens formed it. It can be seen by air above the Medicine Hat area in Alberta, Canada.

Badlands are found in several areas of North America.The Badlands Guardian is a famous image of a human head said to be wearing aboriginal headgear and earphones. The constant erosion of the light sedimentary soil and clay means that there are many unique and strange geomorphic features and topographies which have intrigued people since the arrival of the First Nations. Winds and heavy rains carve channels in the rocks relatively quickly. The effect of wind and water on these landscapes means that they are constantly changing. They were formed during the end of the last Ice Age when glacial meltwater created valleys and steeps slopes out of the sedimentary rock and clay soil. The Badlands are desolate terrain of gullies, chasms, sinkholes, and hills. The location of the geological wonder is very remote, in an area that has been traditionally the home of the Siska First Nation People, often known as the Blackfoot tribes. The Badlands’ Guardian is near Medicine Hat in the south-east of Alberta and not far from the border with the USA. It is listed as the seventh of the top ten Google Earth finds by Time magazine. They altered the suggested 'Guardian of the Badlands' to become Badlands Guardian. Out of 50 names submitted, seven were suggested to the Cypress County Council. In 2006 suitable names were canvassed by CBC Radio One program As It Happens. It has sparse vegetation and soft, clay soil. It receives little but intense showers of rain. The area covered by the Badlands Guardian is an arid land. The precise location of the Badlands Guardian on Google Earth is at the coordinates (50° 0'38.20"N, 110° 06' 48.32"W). The Guardian is regarded as one of Google Earth’s most remarkable finds. The feature was discovered in 2005 by Lynn Hickox during the Google Earth project when they used satellite imagery and reproduced them in 3-D which led to the identification of the natural world. Its age is estimated to be in the hundreds of years at a minimum. Although the image appears to be a convex feature, it is actually concave – that is, a valley, which is formed by erosion on a stratum of clay, and is an instance of the Hollow-Face illusion. The 'head' may have been created during a short period of fast erosion immediately following intense rainfall.

The arid badlands are typified by infrequent but intense rain-showers, sparse vegetation and soft sediments. The head is a drainage feature created through erosion of soft, clay-rich soil by the action of wind and water.
