Amazingly Balanced Rocks Around the World - 21

The balanced rocks are a geological formation created due to wind/water erosion or glacial melting. These precariously balanced rocks are wonder of the nature and to a viewer it looks that these would topple by a gentle human push or a wind force. However most of these rocks have remained steadfast for past several thousand years though some were vandalised and pushed over. To some scientists these rocks are a sign of seismic stableness of the location.

This post is part of the series about these awesome and breathtaking rocks around the world. List giving links to individual rocks can be seen here and a combined big page showing all the rocks can be viewed here.

Balanced Rocks, Zapolyarny District, Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Russia

Some areas of the Zapolyarny District, Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Russia, are full of large number of odd shaped rocks created by wind/water erosion and/or glacial melting.

Thanks to the information provided the syzygy, Expert Cartographer, Google Earth Community Forums, I was able to locate two Amazingly Balanced Rocks. No information is available about these rocks. I am also not aware if any name has been given to these rocks or not. However in order to identify these rocks I have taken the liberty of naming these rocks based on their shape.

The Rocks are;

1. Chicken Leg Rock
