10 Spectacular Basalt Columns of the World

Basalt columns, those mesmerizing hexagonal structures that look like they belong on an alien planet, are one of nature’s most fascinating geological formations. These pillars, created by volcanic activity, can be found across the globe, standing as timeless testaments to the power of Earth’s internal forces. In this article, we will explore the origins, locations, and unique characteristics of…

The cave opened like a church to the god of darkness. Its pillars stood, not carved by men but by time and the silent work of water. Light broke through a crevice, claiming its space with geometric precision, a holy lance in a sanctuary without prayers. The steps on the side, aged and worn, whispered of visitors not present. Whose steps have worn these stones? What absolution were they seeking in the bowels of the earth? Did goblins live here, deep underground?

I'd pay so much money to hear you give a lesson on paleontolgy. Whenever you write about you seem so formal and passionate ✨️

this is sooooo sweet but i guarantee you don’t want this bc the first lesson would be on terminology and the geologic timeline, some of the most boring but fundamental shit 😭😭

or, hear me out—that but my feeder is stuffing me more and more. the lesson keeps getting interrupted by sips of weight gain shake and many belly rubs

Stromatolite Fossil

When I first saw this stone, I was excited. I was even more excited when I found out what it was. A record of the first life forms on Earth. Information from billions of years ago. How could I not be excited? I would love to know all the information hidden inside this beautiful fossil.

"THE GEOLOGICAL FORMATIONS ARE OF OUTSTANDING SCENIC INTEREST..."

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on Gueltade Tikoubaouine, Tassili n’Ajjer, Algeria, North Africa, a UNESCO World Heritage site. 📸: “Extraanis,” c. 2015 (via Wikimedia).

MINI-OVERVIEW: “Located in a strange lunar landscape of great geological interest, this site has one of the most important groupings of prehistoric cave art in the world. More than 15,000 drawings and engravings record the climatic changes, the animal migrations and the evolution of human life on the edge of the Sahara from 6000 BC to the first centuries of the present era. The geological formations are of outstanding scenic interest, with eroded sandstones forming "forests of rock.”

Elephants in Stone: Elephant-Like Rock Formations in Heimaey, Iceland, and Mokuhooniki, Hawaii

The first image showcases Heimaey, an island off the coast of Iceland renowned for its dramatic volcanic landscapes. Towering cliffs sculpted by millennia of volcanic activity blend rugged basalt with patches of vibrant green moss. The scene highlights Iceland’s untamed beauty and the geological forces that shaped this remote and captivating island.

The second image displays the Elephant Rock of Mokuhooniki in Hawaii. This remarkable natural formation resembles an elephant, complete with a “trunk” extending into the ocean. Created from ancient lava flows and sculpted by the relentless forces of wind and waves, this rock formation stands amid sparkling blue waters, exemplifying Hawaii’s breathtaking volcanic artistry.

I'm wathing Rings of Power and can't help but compare certain scenes to minecraft biomes. Especially with caves.

The underground river awakening the volcano inside Mount Doom? 100% updated cave spawn I have traversed and got lost in multiple times.

Gnome king breaking through mountain to open this window to surface? classic minecraft experience, everyone have accidentally brocken through a wall when making house underground/in a mountain/hill.

p.s. In the first Hobbit movie there's also this vertical crack-like cave system with waterfalls that leads into a larger cave system/ valley between mountains - where have I seen this before
