Actually it was Neil Peart's idea, which he got from his motorbike travel to   
   Yellowknife. It's a cairn, or as the Inuits call them: inukshuks, meaning "in   
   the likeness of man." A normal cairn is picked straight up, often descending   
   in size, but the    
   inukshuks were piled into manlike figures.  In Canada the Inuit used them as   
   trail markers but they were also used in the Americas by Indians and are still   
   used today in National Parks. Pearl writes, in his book Ghost Rider, that he   
   wanted it used as the    
   cover art because he was "struck by the power of this human symbol in a hostel   
   land."
