column tops

These rocks are basalt formed from lava that flowed about 100 km from a volcano to the south-east.
The lava cooled fairly quickly, cracking in the process to form more-or-less hexagonal columns – these are the tops of those columns.

An excellent image showing the ends of the basalt columns, not usually seen from this perspective.
