Southeastern Alberta is characterized by badlands terrain. Its age is estimated to be in the hundreds of years at a minimum. ( Google Maps ) The Badlands Guardian feature is actually a drainage basin which was probably created during a period of rapid erosion. 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.
