This rock likely fell when the Vikings were running around Europe..........

Since there is no perspective available, it could be much smaller than that you are imagining. When you look at the other picture, showing the ice field, there are a few big rocks around, but notice they don't identify any of those racks as being the space rock. 🙂

But I wholeheartedly agree with your sentiment. 🙂

I wish they put a ruler next to it so we could see the size in inches.

Couldn’t help but think of the movie “The Thing” when I read this headline.

I’ve churned butter, but never rocks...................

A shot put is 16 pounds, so if it’s iron, it’s at least as big as that. If it’s stony, then maybe volleyball sized?

It was probably there when the area was overgrown with palm trees.

[Red Badger]

Most likely..................

Are you thinking of “The Blob” too?
