Kummakivi

Natural landmark in Finland From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kummakivi (lit.'odd stone' or 'strange stone')[1] is a large balancing rock in Ruokolahti, Finland. The 7-metre-long (23 ft) boulder is a glacial erratic that lies on a convex bedrock surface with such a small footprint that it almost appears to be moving,[2] but so firmly that it cannot be rocked with human force.[3][4][5]
