    Nice idea to name the boulders after monks.

    Hiking

    Glacial erratics, often simply called erratics, or erratic boulders, are rocks that have been transported by ice and deposited elsewhere. The type of rock (lithology) that the glacial erratic is made from is different to the lithology of the bedrock where the erratic is deposited.

    Meremunk (Seamonk) came originally from Finland and formed and transported here due to glacial action during previous ice ages.
