Sailing Stones

[Nothxkbi]

This is one of the weirdest things ever, these rocks move by themselves. I can't make head or tail of the scientists trying to explain, if they can.

The sailing stones, also known as sliding rocks and moving rocks, are a geological phenomenon where rocks move in long tracks along a smooth valley floor without human or animal intervention. They have been recorded and studied in a number of places around Racetrack Playa, Death Valley, where the number and length of travel grooves are notable. The force behind their movement is not understood and is the subject of research.
