Ehalkivi, Protected glacial boulder in Letipea, Estonia.
The Ehalkivi boulder rises 7.6 meters from the ground and extends 49 meters in width, with a total volume of 930 cubic meters.
During the last ice age, glacial movements transported this massive pegmatite rock formation to its current location on the Estonian coast.
Local residents named this formation Ehalkivi, meaning Sunset Glow Boulder, due to the complete disappearance of the sun behind it during sunset.
Visitors need to check water levels and weather conditions before attempting to reach the boulder, as high tides limit access.
This formation holds the record for the largest exposed surface area among all glacial boulders in Estonia, measuring 2,500 tons in mass.
