Ocean waves are so powerful, they have the ability to move giant boulders from the shoreline and throw them inland.
That's according to experts who looked at the effect of powerful storms during the winter of 2013 to 2014 on the western coast of Ireland.
They discovered that massive chunks of rocks weighing hundreds of tons had shifted.
Incredible before and after pictures taken by the research team show their movement, including one 620 ton hunk that dwarfs the Statue of Liberty's 225 tons.
By comparing the new positions with previous observations, scientists realised that some of the rocks had even been thrown clear of the ocean, on to cliffs above.
And these movements are not a one-off. The storms that created them were powerful but 'not exceptional.'
