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
breath-taking 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.
Kannesteinen Rock, Oppdal, Måløy, Norway
A mushroom rock with a slender stack created by constant lashing of sea waves
for thousands of years. The rock is made of eclogite.
As per
atlasobscura.com "Depending on the angle (and the viewer’s imagination),
the mushroom rock may take the shape of a goblet, a leafy stem, a wonky heart, a
statue of a mushroom cloud, or a lopsided whale tale bursting through the
surrounding stones."
