🪨 Glacial Erratics of the World

These are notable glacial erratics — huge boulders transported by ancient ice and left behind where the glacier melted, often of rock quite unlike the ground they rest on, from lone blocks on farmland to famous marked stones in forests and hills. Each profile shows where the boulder lies, which country it is in, and a plain-English introduction from Wikipedia.

36 glacial erratics from 13 countries are covered below, grouped by continent. Open any glacial erratic for its full profile.
