Description

Basalt Columns at the Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach, in the south of Iceland.

When lava pours out and cools slowly over time, a curious geometric pattern emerges: long columns of hexagonal basalt rock, sometimes forming cliffs that stretch hundreds of feet into the air.

It's amazing to think that a violent eruption of lava however many thousands of years ago could result in something so symmetrical. It is the nature of basaltic lava cooling that allows this to happen: this lava is hotter and moves faster than other kinds. As it cools from the bottom up and from the center outward, long fractures form columns that at times take on astoundingly clear-cut hexagons. The whole process is called columnar jointing.

These columns form in vast bunches and are often found near sources of water, along an island's coast or in the middle of a river or stream.
