An image has appeared on the side of a cliff in a mystery which will make people do an about-face.<\/p>\n

A seven foot ‘face’ has been spotted on a rockface on the remote Reeks Island – part of the windswept Broken Group Islands near Vancouver Island, Canada.<\/p>\n

And now the search is on to discover whether the visage, surrounded by a rugged shoreline and rough waters, is a natural phenomenon, or the product of ancient civilisation.<\/p>\n

Hank Gus first heard about the ‘face in the rocks’ in 2008 when a kayaker stumbled across it.<\/p>\n

The canoeist sent the picture to Parks Canada, but couldn’t remember exactly where they’d spotted it.<\/p>\n

Then, just a few weeks ago, Hank finally found the hidden treasure and took a mobile phone video of the face.<\/p>\n

Discovery: Hank Gus looked for the mysterious image for years after a kayaker said he spotted it in 2008<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

He told CTV News: “It’s quite noticeable from the water, it’s pretty large.<\/p>\n

“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.<\/p>\n

“It’s high up and there’s bunch of rock cliffs on the side and it’s so hard to access.”<\/p>\n

Hank says to him the face appears to be blowing, and is perhaps a symbol of wind.<\/p>\n

The face may resemble a spiritual being named Ugi who in the native Tseshaht culture blows wind to share the history of the peoples’ ancestors, the station reported.<\/p>\n

Researchers are now hoping to get up close to the carving to find out more about its origins.<\/p>\n

Hank added: “It doesn’t matter if it’s natural or man-made,” he said. “It just looks really nice to share with others who come and visit us.”<\/p>\n
