Kusikivi, Glacial erratic in Kurikka, Finland.
The massive granite boulder Kusikivi rests on a convex bedrock surface with minimal contact points, measuring approximately 7 by 4 by 5 meters.
The boulder arrived at its current location through glacial movement between 11,000 and 12,000 years ago when the area emerged from beneath continental ice sheets.
Local residents have developed numerous stories about the formation of Kusikivi, attributing its peculiar positioning to supernatural forces and mythical creatures.
Visitors can access Kusikivi through a marked 2.2-kilometer circular path that winds through the surrounding coniferous forest and natural landscape.
The boulder consists of granite-cordierite-mica-gneiss and maintains its position on the underlying rock through a remarkably small contact area.
