The paper presents Scandinavian erratics as an example of abiotic resources that show evidence of geodiversity in a certain region. These mute witnesses of a glacial epoch play scientific, cognitive, educational, cultural, historical, aesthetic, conservative and, at last but not least, geotouristic role. Unfortunately, the proper authorities and also the inhabitants are unaware of the value of these resources. That is why they remain unused in the sustainable development of the district and/or town as well as in the creation of the district’s/town’s image. The paper suggests that some abiotic elements of nature should be adapted for tourist purposes in accordance with the principles of environmental protection.

The southern extreme location and the natural landscapes, highly modelled by glaciers during the Quaternary period, give Tierra del Fuego a unique opportunity to attract visitors worldwide. Its glacial landforms are geodiversity resources that are witness to global climate changes as natural processes. Therefore, this study aims to highlight different glacial landforms considering their geodidactic potential for educational information in terms of geographical study. Sixteen georesources connected by routes are analysed, using bibliographic research, fieldwork and a datasheet designed ad-hoc. Four of them were formed during middle Pleistocene glaciations and the other twelve during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), out of which two also represent the Holocene, which happens to be the youngest glaciation.
