Geoglyph of a Laughing Face

Posted by c tito young on 30 March 2021 in English. Last updated on 10 April 2021.

A geoglyph of a laughing face (25m x 25m) oriented north to south on a moderately sloped rock is a little hard to see. A front view image with both eyes appears to roll to the left, a long nose and gaping large mouth appears as its laughing. There is possibility of this geoglyph also has a neck and shoulders and torso. It is unclear what the geoglyph seems to be laughing at and why, the face is located to the right (east) of another geoglyph a sea lion. The reason for the laugher might simply be the joy in seeing these amazing animals.
