There are certain natural occurrences in the world that leave us all scratching our heads. One such natural wonder is Kummakivi, a geological formation found in the dense forests of Finland. The mystifying sight is that of a giant rock performing an unbelievable balancing act on a seemingly smooth, curved mound. There is still no scientific explanation for how the rock, whose given name translates as “strange rock” in Finnish, has wound up in such a perplexing position, but doesn’t it look unusual?
Some Finnish folklore explains the odd locations of these giant stones by saying that trolls (or giants) carried, threw or rolled them there.

Kummakivi is, most likely, a glacial erratic, nicely balanced.
Giants/trolls putting it there is the more interesting explanation so I’ll choose to believe that instead.
Because people think to be happy they have to act atupid. Science is cool too.

If it’s a natural phenomenon why are there similar rocks all over the world?
Because there are natural phenomena all over the world. Hence the name. Natural.
