Classes of the Scandinavian Peninsula are part of the Baltic Shield, a stable and large segment of the crust of very old crystalline metamorphic rocks. In the southern part of the peninsula, glaciers besieged a huge amount of terminal moraines, creating a very chaotic landscape. These terminal moraines covered all that is now Denmark.
During the ice age, sea level in the Atlantic landed so much that the Baltic Sea, Gulf of Bothnia and the Gulf of Finland disappeared, and the countries surrounding them, including Germany, Poland, other Baltic countries and Scandinavia, were directly joined. The weight of almost 4 km of ice during the ice age led to the fact that the entire Scandinavian landscape sank when the ice disappeared, the shield rose again. On the contrary, the southern part was inclined to compensate for it, causing flooding in countries with low levels of development and in Denmark.
To understand the geology of Scandinavia, we must go back 500 million years ago. Northern Europe and Scandinavia were formerly one continent, called BALTICA, while they were located south of the equator, roughly where South Africa is today. For millions of years, due to continental drift of the continents, the Baltic moved north until it reached its present position on the globe. The cliffs from this continent are ancient, some of which date back to 3,500 million years, almost as old as our planet. The oldest are in Northern Finland and on the Kola Peninsula in Russia.
During the Ice Age, glaciers from 4 km in Scandinavia tore and destroyed a huge amount of stones from the surface of the earth and transported them along with ice to the south to northern Europe, Denmark and Russia. There were 3 main ice bodies, the first from Norway in the direction of Denmark, the second from Finland and Sweden to Northern Germany, and the third from the north of Russia to the south and regions around Poland. When the ice melted at the end of the ice age about 10,000 years ago, stones were precipitated as moraines, eskers, drums and unstable glaciers over a large area from Denmark, Northern Europe, Eastern Europe and Russia. The size of these glacial imbalances goes from sand grains to huge boulders, the largest intact mass weighs 4,000 tons and is located in Eastland. There are several hundred of these large boulders found throughout Northern Europe, Denmark and the Netherlands.
These places of origin of glacial change originate from the ancient continent of the Baltic Sea, known today as Scandinavia, these are the stones that I collected, identified as a special type of rock, composition and age of rocks by carbon dating. Subsequently, they cut and polished them into perfect spheres.
