Basalt columns are most commonly explained as the result of cooled lava from volcanic activity. When molten rock cools, it contracts, causing cracks to form in a regular, hexagonal pattern due to the equal distribution of tension. This natural formation can be seen in famous sites like the Giant’s Causeway in Ireland and the Devil’s Postpile in California. However, there is an alternate theory that suggests basalt columns may not be cooled lava, but instead could represent petrified plant cell f

Nayana Prakash on Instagram: "Iceland’s unique landscapes feature stunning basalt columns, formed by rapid cooling of lava. Typically, lava cools down to form basalt rocks, but basalt columns are a rare and breathtaking sight. These columns occur when lava cools suddenly, often in cold environments, resulting in hexagonal or pentagonal shapes. In Iceland, basalt columns can be found in various locations, showcasing nature’s artistic prowess. One notable example is the Hallgrímskirkja church in R
