Die Basaltklippen von Gerðuberg bestehen aus beeindruckenden, sechseckigen Säulen, die durch das langsame Abkühlen von Lava entstanden sind. Diese regelmäßigen Formen sind ein klassisches Beispiel für Säulenbasalt und geologische Prozesse. Die Klippen erstrecken sich über mehrere hundert Meter und bieten eine eindrucksvolle Kulisse.

I went out to Frenchman Coulee in central Washington. The landscape is made up of eons of lava flows and then carved out by huge ice age floods. I think its pretty interesting and definitely want to go back and visit some of the other coulees in the area!

A photo of a road winding through Frenchman Coulee. In the foreground there are shrubs and dry grasses. To the left of the road are tall cliffs dropping to the valley below. To the right of the road is a hill with a set of basalt spires named The Feathers rising up from it.

Yet the supposed " structures" are mostly associated with - which, however, are a not unusual also naturally occurring phenomenon:

If basaltic cools and solidifies with a certain delay, contraction results in polygonal columns.
