Beauties of Estonia (9/12). Erratic boulders

Estonia is a Nordic country which is famous for abundance of erratic boulders. On the entire North-European glaciation territory covering several millions square kilometres there are altogether  about 120 huge (diameter over 10 m.) crystalline erratic boulders, and from these 110 are located in Estonia.
Naturally, also the biggest erratic boulder of the North-European glaciation area is situated in Estonia. Toodrikivi is 10 m. high and 1,100 cubic m. in volume and rests in shallow sea near Nõva, Lääne County.
