According to the article, "The Face on Mars is located at 41 degrees north martian latitude where it was winter in April '98-a cloudy time of year on the Red Planet. The Camera on board MGS had to peer through wispy clouds to see the Face." The weather conditions on the Red Planet could have been bad on the day that the face was formed. The face could had just been naturally formed because of the weather phenomenon going on in Mars. The planet just could have had bad weather conditions during the time.
