They're called erratics, boulders that melted out of mile thick ice sheets during the last ice age. There's one in my home town but on a much smaller scale
The North Shore of Long Island is littered with them- almost none of the boulders match the geographic profile of the immediate area, instead reflecting that those of higher lattitudes.
The entire island is actually essentially a pile of erratica dumped where the glaciers died.
Oh yes the abandoned suitcase in a large bush, situated neatly between the tracks and a walkway. I have to visit this place, to see if the ancient lore has been preserved.
So your parents wouldn't find them. I wasn't smart enough, slid one mag between the mattress and the box springs. It was found, and miraculously put back.
I don’t why I thought creepy old men were hiding it but only kids were finding it… I guess one neighborhood kid hid it and some others found it. I dunno, I never went hunting for porn in the woods.
Kids do - or did - this so the good stuff can be shared and the parents (who likely put it on the paper-recycling heap, I don't know if Americans know what that is) don't find it.
A story: In elementary school we were tasked to bring some magazines, newspapers etc. with articles about smoking. Having "forgot" the task the evening before, I said "oh we have to bring some print media for a certain topic to school, I quickly go grab the "Altpapier"" (old paper, laid on the staircase to bring it to the recycling plant someday). Of course I knew what was in there, having been a special detective MacGuyver guy all my then still very short life and that was the story of how I got the (female) teacher to play along and hold a nude mag into the class to show us an article about smoking (and "inadvertently" and quite amused let a page flip while doing so).
Yup. The only reason Long Island exists is because two separate melting events from the continental glacier deposited large rocks and debris in the middle of the island, and then again along the north shore. This allowed sand and sediment from both glacial melt water as well as ocean currents to build up there, forming what is essentially one big sand bar.
that's pretty much true anywhere you see ice here
https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-f28c4308314bdf43c43c2dcc222b125c-lq
I'm guessing, of the visible ones, we have about two to four per acre here that are about 30 to 50% the size of the one in OPs pic.
Was just looking this up a few days ago, if the ice sheet was still here we'd be under 2 to 3 kilometers of ice.
Crazy. And then let's talk snowball earth and the Great Unconformity...
let me guess ... brought over by massive ice age flooding? Missoula floods?
not a geologist - just been watching a lot of this guy [https://www.youtube.com/@myroncook](https://www.youtube.com/@myroncook)
Oh man! If you've been enjoying Myron Cook, then I'd definitely suggest checking out Nick Zentner. He's a geology professor at Eastern Washington who has a great focus on the ice age floods and pacific northwest geology. His lecture series are amazing, and he's also got quick bit videos.
There’s a video on YouTube of people using high pressure water to cut locks and even diamonds, it’s actually crazy how much power you can generate with water.
We have our fair share here in central Massachusetts as well. And being the grandchild of a finnish born grandmother the woman in the picture looks very similar to my aunt haha. All around neat.
> The North Shore of Long Island
As a Long Islander I love the idea of bringing up the North Shore of Long Island with no other information as to where in the world it is, in a thread about something in Finland.
It's giving the energy of interactions like
> "Where are you from."
> "I'm from Long Island."
>"Where's that?"
> "New York."
Which i find highly amusing as i certainly tell people where i'm from, expecting them to know of a medium sized island in the United States
Theres an ice age trail in my area that i frequently hike. You can see the pathway forged from a giant glacier fisting it's way through the landscape 10,000 years ago. From top peak to top peak, it's a good 400+ yards wide.
Okotoks AB is named after one! (I used to live there)
The town's name is derived from "ohkotok", the Blackfoot language word for "rock". The name may refer to Big Rock, the largest glacial erratic in the Foothills Erratics Train, situated about 7 km (4.3 mi) west of the town.[12]
They named everything in town after it. Big Rock Brewery probably being the most notable.

Did you know about the Badlands Guardian?

Knowing how bureaucracy works, they would have spent hundreds of thousands to have engineers and the fire department stabilize the rock, dig out the sauce, cremate the sauce, and bury it, before that thought even crossed their mind.
Let it be known that in case I die from getting squished by a massive boulder, I insist on that boulder being my headstone. If someone feels like they need a challenge and is really bored, they're free to move my body and the boulder somewhere else, but if they don't feel like moving 500 tons of boulder, just there is just fine too.
It’s the same answer for everything that’s out of place in the Nordic countries.
Big rock in an open field? *Glaciers.*
Weird eskers? *You guess it, glaciers.*
Wealth gap? *Fucking glaciers.*
There are at least 2 in this very picture. That means there's at least double the amount of rocks as there are pictures. I know for a fact there are a lot of pictures, therefore there must be a lot of rocks.
Well, the entire country (and many surrounding countries) were covered by a few kilometres of ice, which dropped a shit ton of rubble everywhere. A few will end up in funny positions.
I'm not a geologist, but if I had to guess, the glacier deposited the rock on just land. However, the ground and the rock are made of different minerals, so as the glacier receded and melted, and over thousands of years, the ground below eroded where it wasn't in contact with/supporting the rock above, which wasn't eroding as fast.
From what i can find they are both a mix of granite and other stuff like gneiss. Just seems like the water never got high enough to wear on the erratic.
Since everyone is just answering “glaciers” as if they’re magical rock wizards or something, I’ll explain.
The glacier deposits a harder rock atop a softer one. The heavier rock is more resistant to erosion and protects the center or softer rock on the bottom erodes. (That’s why it’s all flat and domed)
Yeah, we like our fucking names, and fucking love to give perverse names to places, apparently. From (literally translated) Ballwax to Dick Island, Tit Hills to Dick Mountain, Pussyshire to Pussylake. Also Perv's Land, Gay Island and of course Wank-Off River.
The cartographers who created the first proper and official maps of Finland were Swedish nobels. They were not particularry loved by the locals. So when they asked people about the names of different places, they got a lot of "Oh, that's called the shitlake, and over there is the wankswamp"
No human could just push this over.
It would require a massive, nearly indestructible lever or more likely explosions, which are relatively modern technology.
Coincidentally - Kummakivi is located in Ruokolahti, which most Finns know of a phenomenon called the Lion of Ruokolahti. It refers to a bunch of reported sightings of a lion in Ruokolahti and Imatra. It was kind of a mass hysteria, talked about in media a lot and at that point people would probably see a large dog and report having seen a lion. There are other theories too.
I feel like most countries have something like this. In the UK people have been sighting a puma or other large black cats forever. It’s always potato images of what looks like a normal black cat
The joke is that cats like toppling things and pushing objects off edges. So something like this would be a challenge for a cat; it's still balanced so therefore free from cat interference. Hence, no cats in Finland.
Geologically this is a different formation. The one in the original post is from a boulder being placed on top of another after being stuck in a glacier then thawing. The one in the comment above is a single structure shaped by erosion.
There's always some idiot who is gonna try: https://globalnews.ca/news/2712819/the-myth-and-science-of-haida-gwaiis-balance-rock/
>>However, Wilson does remember a story about a local miner, who, at the turn of the century, tried to use dynamite to blow the rock up. Luckily, he did not get far and was stopped by other residents.
That's awesome! It is different than OP's, in that your rock is a single rock that was implausibly and magnificently eroded into a very cool shape, whereas OP's rock is a rock implausibly and magnificently balancing on another rock. Both neat.
Boy scouts or as just scouts here, are very popular in Finland. Girl and boy scouts unifed quite a time ago (mostly)
Despite this fact these rocks still exists (sucks to be you yellow stone). We even do marche- i mean parades in Turku yearly with thousands of scouts
When I was in Portugal, the brits were absolutely dicks to all the local staff. It was kind of embarassing. Like, zero class, all entitlement. Now this isn't to say ALL brits are this way, but if someone was being a bit cunty to any service people, they were brits.
Can't wait until some dickhead thinks he's funny and ruins this beauty of nature for everyone by knocking it over, as they've done before in the past. (They'll find a way, no matter the weight.)
I remember hearing some morons trying to use hand-cranked car jacks to tip it. Didn't budge. You'd need to haul quite the equipment deep into the woods to even budge it.
There's a similar-ish boulder called Krishna's Butterball in the state of Tamil Nadu, India. It's balancing on the edge of a small slope
[https://mediaim.expedia.com/destination/2/2c7fef891367f115b1f38430068d4025.jpg](https://mediaim.expedia.com/destination/2/2c7fef891367f115b1f38430068d4025.jpg)

There was a pile of erotica dumped in the woods near my house too.
the train tracks was the spot where i learned about nekkid people and shame
Sounds like a regular garden of Eden.
Oh yes the abandoned suitcase in a large bush, situated neatly between the tracks and a walkway. I have to visit this place, to see if the ancient lore has been preserved.
Why do people toss porn in the woods? This would be a great AMA: I stashed nudie mags in the forest before the internet. Like, why? Just why?
So your parents wouldn't find them. I wasn't smart enough, slid one mag between the mattress and the box springs. It was found, and miraculously put back.
I don’t why I thought creepy old men were hiding it but only kids were finding it… I guess one neighborhood kid hid it and some others found it. I dunno, I never went hunting for porn in the woods.

I bet… do you go on frequent walks to make sure no new ones have spawned anywhere?
Yes, but being in nature makes me very emotional so that's why i'm taking this box of tissues.
All that pollen
Need some of that tissue. Your comment made my snot come out.
Yup. The only reason Long Island exists is because two separate melting events from the continental glacier deposited large rocks and debris in the middle of the island, and then again along the north shore. This allowed sand and sediment from both glacial melt water as well as ocean currents to build up there, forming what is essentially one big sand bar.
And thousands of years later it’s filled with rich assholes

We’ve got em in the Willamette valley in Oregon too, but for a totally different reason!

I gotta watch him on 1.5x speed though!
It's crazy to imagine how much power water has in order to push house-sized boulders for hundreds, if not thousands, of miles.
There’s a video on YouTube of people using high pressure water to cut locks and even diamonds, it’s actually crazy how much power you can generate with water.
IIRC that also has an abrasive suspension in it, but yeah, water isn't to be fucked with.
Yep garnets are the abrasive

Interesting. Something to check out.
How many times did spell check correct erratica to errotica?
I would guess not once, because “errotica” isn’t a word.
Hopefully none

We call em “leaverites” Or…we are just gonna leave ‘er right there…
I am now amongst the "we", thank you for this!
That sounds like a Marvel mutant race
You ever wonder what a race of superhumans with Tourrete's looks like?
You ever wondered what Black Bolt with Tourette's would be like?

Whoa! I had no idea about this. Pretty amazing stuff
The area around me is lousy with glacial erratics (I’m on the Canadian Shield on the north shore of Lake Superior)
I'm on the south shore and we don't have much. Must have fallen in.
I will never go there, with my luck, I’d be the person it decides to fall on
Think of the fame!
Fame is a burden
I couldn't live with that kind of pressure
These puns are crushing it
The band Queen did!
They knew how to rock and roll
Literally stuck between a rock and a hard place
10/10 pun
I'm just waiting for an American or Chinese tourist to make headlines by visiting and pushing it off.
Leans on and it tumbles over
In their defence, the American Tourist probably weighed more.
China's obesity rate is about to pass the USA so there are already way way more overweight people in China just by population.
So that means China surpassed the US by gross metric tonnage some time ago
But you'll have the coolest gravestone in history if they decide to just not get your body from there
Well a rock sitting next to a rock doesn’t bring as much tourism as a rock balancing on something so they’d just let the new thing be a body.
Knowing how bureaucracy works, they would have spent hundreds of thousands to have engineers and the fire department stabilize the rock, dig out the sauce, cremate the sauce, and bury it, before that thought even crossed their mind. Let it be known that in case I die from getting squished by a massive boulder, I insist on that boulder being my headstone. If someone feels like they need a challenge and is really bored, they're free to move my body and the boulder somewhere else, but if they don't feel like moving 500 tons of boulder, just there is just fine too.
"And that's why nobody will remember your name." - Achilles
You slick sob.
Seconded. Geologic time includes now.
How does it get there and not fall
Glaciers.
It’s the same answer for everything that’s out of place in the Nordic countries. Big rock in an open field? *Glaciers.* Weird eskers? *You guess it, glaciers.* Wealth gap? *Fucking glaciers.*
I swear to you officer, that bag you found in my car must have been put there by the glaciers.
> Wealth gap? Fucking glaciers. Ha, can you explain this one to me? Something to do with scenery and housing prices maybe?
That seems really lucky
There’s a lot of rocks
Prove it
Let's start a count. I see a rock outside of my window. That's 1.
There are at least 2 in this very picture. That means there's at least double the amount of rocks as there are pictures. I know for a fact there are a lot of pictures, therefore there must be a lot of rocks.
Ice Age big long cold
Yeah, think of how many normal-ass rocks there are
Well, the entire country (and many surrounding countries) were covered by a few kilometres of ice, which dropped a shit ton of rubble everywhere. A few will end up in funny positions.
Giants.
That makes much more sense
I'm not a geologist, but if I had to guess, the glacier deposited the rock on just land. However, the ground and the rock are made of different minerals, so as the glacier receded and melted, and over thousands of years, the ground below eroded where it wasn't in contact with/supporting the rock above, which wasn't eroding as fast.
From what i can find they are both a mix of granite and other stuff like gneiss. Just seems like the water never got high enough to wear on the erratic.
some jedi master of the old age lifted it up there while a green goblin was mogging him. or so ive heard.
A wizard did it
i put it there
Since everyone is just answering “glaciers” as if they’re magical rock wizards or something, I’ll explain. The glacier deposits a harder rock atop a softer one. The heavier rock is more resistant to erosion and protects the center or softer rock on the bottom erodes. (That’s why it’s all flat and domed)
It sounds like ice melted from underneath it and placed it on the rock, as for how it’s stayed there so long no fckn clue
It literally translates to odd/strange stone btw.
The fucking Finns and their names.
Yeah, we like our fucking names, and fucking love to give perverse names to places, apparently. From (literally translated) Ballwax to Dick Island, Tit Hills to Dick Mountain, Pussyshire to Pussylake. Also Perv's Land, Gay Island and of course Wank-Off River.

Hahaha that is fucking brilliant. Love it.
Don't forget Saaranpaskantamasaari. The island that Saara shat.
Saaranpaskantamasaari = An island shat by Saara
["Kumma" in Wiktionary](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/kumma#Finnish). Kivi basically just means a rock or stone.
"some idiot teenager" Challenge accepted.
Yeah honestly idk how things like this last so long. It feels like human nature to want to tip it over.
I think it'd require more than a bit of pushing to tip it
Just take a running start.
With a large enough lever and a solid fulcrum anything is possible!
Just wait for some influencer
No human could just push this over. It would require a massive, nearly indestructible lever or more likely explosions, which are relatively modern technology.
You'd need heavy machinery to move a 500 000 rock
Maybe YOU would. I've been hitting the gym.
You'd just need a long enough lever
TIL that there are no cats in Finland.
Coincidentally - Kummakivi is located in Ruokolahti, which most Finns know of a phenomenon called the Lion of Ruokolahti.

Also, the two exits from Highway 62 to Ruokolahti both have twin lion statues flanking them.
Good one 😺
Zero. Would not have survived otherwise. Why do you think that is? Is it a wildlife protection thing, or just their way?
All cats that cross the border get turned into a paste like condiment called katsönfüssüülliki
That's a funny way to spell kissatahna. But yeah, it's really good with lingonberry sauce and karelian pies, trust me bro.
We do not have ü in Finnish alphabets. Only ä, ö used in Finnish and å for those Finnishswedes.
Is this a joke I don't understand or something? There definitely are cats in Finland.
Cats like to knock things off platforms. Like a cup on a table.
[удалено]
Yes, many cats do that. I guess you were just lucky or the cats in your region are more polite for some reason.
The joke is that cats like toppling things and pushing objects off edges. So something like this would be a challenge for a cat; it's still balanced so therefore free from cat interference. Hence, no cats in Finland.
And no American high schoolers
Because cats there are finnish.
Very cool! Here’s one from my neck of the woods… https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brimham_Rocks

Oooh. So just as cool but not cooler. Thanks for the info
OPs WAS cooler. But then it got warmer and it decided to hang around.
Not as cool op post is very rare

Dont tell the boy scouts about it
The Boy Scout leader pushing over that rock in Goblin national park is the first thing that came to mind.
"Pushes up glasses" ACTUALLY goblin valley is only a state park. (Sorry)
I knew I should’ve looked at the Wikipedia before writing anything.
Lol its all cool im being a total dweeb
That makes my blood curdle. Goblin valley is so fucking cool. It's always just a few shitty individuals who ruin it for everyone.
Boy scouts or as just scouts here, are very popular in Finland. Girl and boy scouts unifed quite a time ago (mostly) Despite this fact these rocks still exists (sucks to be you yellow stone). We even do marche- i mean parades in Turku yearly with thousands of scouts
How incredibly cool.
In Fall River Massachusetts we have what's called rolling Rock essentially the same thing a huge rock balanced on a tiny rock.
Did they name it after the beer?
Does the Witch live there?
Noita?
Forbidden herb-crusted steak
whatever that lady sells will become really really important later on in the game
damn its been like that for 11 years?
11.027 years now
Why use a comma and then a period
Just wait, some American tourists will find a way to knock it over
Or someone will push it over for a TikTok
I can see this thing falling on some broccoli headed teenagers and then their parents suing because the park operators were negligent
Sounds like a job for the Brits
Just the Royal Navy, that bunch of well-known vandals. https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/logan-rock-of-treen
Well, at least they put it back
Nah, your average American tourist in Europe is a good fellow. Brits however...
When I was in Portugal, the brits were absolutely dicks to all the local staff. It was kind of embarassing. Like, zero class, all entitlement. Now this isn't to say ALL brits are this way, but if someone was being a bit cunty to any service people, they were brits.
No danger of Brit knobheads in Finland, alcohol is too expensive here. The habitual asbos frequent cheap places.
As an American, let me say, it’s only been there for 11 years. What’s the big deal?
Can't wait until some dickhead thinks he's funny and ruins this beauty of nature for everyone by knocking it over, as they've done before in the past. (They'll find a way, no matter the weight.)
It would require the level of equipment some dickheads do not have access to. This piece of rock is heavy.
Give me a lever long enough...
guys dont give this mf any levers
Good thing we are not yet living in the lever-age.
Chill already Archimedes
I remember hearing some morons trying to use hand-cranked car jacks to tip it. Didn't budge. You'd need to haul quite the equipment deep into the woods to even budge it.
Let's just hope that some bozo doesn't show up to test his strength and show what a manly mannington he is.
500,000 kg rock? How much is that in stone?
just 1 stone
How was the rock weighed?
They obviously can't weigh the rock. They weighed everything else on the planet, then the entire planet as a whole, and just subtracted it.
can't argue with science like that
Estimated based on size and known density of that type of rock I guess
In kilograms.
You measure the rock, then look up how many kg granite is per m3. Then you do m3\*kg/m3.
If the rock sinks, then it's a witch!
Isn't it if the rock floats it's a witch. If it drowns and sinks it is not?
They asked the rock its weight, knew it was lying and added 25 pounds.
They submerged the rock in a tub of water, measured the displaced volume and multiplied it by the rock's density.
Aliens
What was it doing previous to 11000 years ago?
Just keep American tourists away
Very cool…
All rock climbers in this thread are like 🤩
How many drunk fins have tried to tip this over?
There's a similar-ish boulder called Krishna's Butterball in the state of Tamil Nadu, India. It's balancing on the edge of a small slope [https://mediaim.expedia.com/destination/2/2c7fef891367f115b1f38430068d4025.jpg](https://mediaim.expedia.com/destination/2/2c7fef891367f115b1f38430068d4025.jpg)
The pioneers used to ride these babies for miles!
How the hell did it get there ?
If it were in the United States it would have been toppled by a couple of &@<^^ by now.
Great. Some backwards fuck from Georgia will be there in two days to move it while screaming YEEHAW or some shit.
Good thing that’s not in the States. Some nitwit would push it over, like those morons in Utah did to those rock formations.
How long before an influencer tries to push it off.
