Eric the Erratic - the movie:

"I am a granite boulder that was once part on the Mendenhall Towers about 7 miles up the valley. The grinding of the glacial ice caused me to break off the side of the mountain and tumble down 60 feet. I landed on top of the glacier and came to rest on the icy surface. For 80 years I rode on the glacier until I was deposited on a flat piece of ground in the Mendenhall Valley. I am called an erratic because I didn’t fit in with the rest of the landscape."
