Strange shaped mountains, not far from Medicine Hat, Canada. They resemble a "human head wearing a full Indigenous type of headdress". After CBC Radio One asked their listeners for possible names and submitted the 7 best proposals to the Cypress County Council, "Guardian of the Badlands" was chosen but slightly altered into "Badlands Guardian".

The mysterious iPod: case closed!
According to Google Earth Forum, the "earphone" is a natural gas well, and the cable is the road leading to it ;)
