Erratic boulders


The erratic boulders mystery dates back to the 18th century. A Scotsman named James Hutton was the first to propose that such granite blocs, so different from anything on the soil on which they rested, might have been laid down by melting glaciers. No one took him seriously back then. In 1837, a Swiss named Louis Agassiz solved the enigma, by publishing a well-documented book suggesting that a large part of Europe had been once covered by ice. In time, the scientific community accepted his evidence.
