text: Although, the picture was proof that it was just a normal landform, not everyone was satisified. The Face on Mars is found at 41 degrees north martian latitude where it was winter in April 1998. It was a cloudy time of the year on the Red Planet and the camera used to take the photo had to peer through the clouds to view the Face. Some skeptics said that maybe the alien markings were hidden by the haze of the clouds.
