Gaidelis boulder, Geological formation in Lithuania.
Gaidelis boulder is a large glacial erratic left behind after the ice age ended thousands of years ago. It sits in the Lithuanian landscape as a tangible remnant of the geological processes that shaped this region.
Glaciers from the north carried this boulder to Lithuania during the last ice age. When the ice retreated roughly 10000 years ago, the boulder remained as a fixed marker in the landscape.
Local geological institutions incorporate the Gaidelis boulder into educational programs to teach students about Lithuania's natural formations and glacial history.
The boulder can be reached on foot as it sits openly in the landscape. Visit during clear weather when the surrounding paths are easiest to walk through.
The boulder reveals specific patterns of glacial movement across the Baltic region through its mineral composition and placement in the landscape.
