flag A 110,000-year-old glacial boulder, moved by ancient ice, was found in England and erected as a new educational landmark.

A large glacial erratic, a volcanic rock transported by ancient ice sheets about 110,000 years ago, was discovered during a volunteer clean-up at Ford Park in Ulverston, Cumbria. Believed to have originated in the Lake District, the boulder was lifted upright with help from a visitor’s truck and equipment, now serving as a new educational landmark. Officials hope it will inspire interest in the region’s geological past and the lasting impact of glacial activity.
