As If the Earth Itself Cried Out in Anguish

When you see a face where there is no face, you'd prefer it to look a little more cheerful than this, wouldn't you? This image wasn't generated by artificial intelligence, nor was it Photoshopped; it was taken from the air above Antarctica. You can see it on Google Earth. Is it the face of an alien or a demon? Redditor Technical_Captain_15 tells us the face resembles "Ahriman, the cold satanic force of materialism and nihilism." See the illustration here. Most commenters said it's pareidolia, which is the tendency for humans to see faces where there is no face. This is a snowy mountainside with crevasses where the eyes and mouth would be, and that makes it a face for humans, who have a vested interest in recognizing faces. But if it's not a face, it's a surely anguished snowy mountainside. See several pictures and the discussion at reddit. -via Geeks Are Sexy
