This is a massive boulder weighing approximately 200 tons, yet it manages to stand perfectly balanced on a much smaller, pointed rock outcrop, with a contact surface area of ​​only about 30 cm.

At first glance, this rock looks as if it's about to roll down due to its excessive weight compared to its base, but that never happens. Over the course of time, this block of rock has remained in the same place without falling.
