Another nice erratic


I came across this rather nice photo of a large erratic on a glaciated surface near Syd Kap, in Scoresby Sund, East Greenland.  It's good to have the human being for scale.......  this will have been carried in the Devensian Glaciation by the huge glacier coming out of Nordvest Fjord.  The human being would not have been there at the time......

  1. Coincidence!:I had an uncle called Syd, and he washed up with the Green Howards near near Sheffield during WWII, though born in Darlington. His Scottish father had similarly been carried southwards, in his case in a south-easterly direction, by a different motivating force, finding employment, out of Glasgow.

  2. A bit bigger than the erratics around Loveston!
