Metal Print : Columnar basalt formation
Metal Prints From Science Photo Library
Columnar basalt formation
Columnar basalt formation. Basalt is an extrusive igneous rock, which means it forms from the cooling of lava on the surface. Contraction of the lava as it cools leads to the geometry of the columns, which have either hexagonal or pentagonal cross-sections. Photographed in the Columbia River Gorge, Washington State, USA

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of a columnar basalt formation found in the Columbia River Gorge, Washington State, USA. The intricate patterns and unique geometry of these columns are a result of the cooling process of lava on the earth's surface. As the lava cools and contracts, it forms hexagonal or pentagonal cross-sections that create an awe-inspiring sight. The rugged cliffs in this photograph display nature's power at work, with eroded and shattered rocks scattered across the landscape. The cracked surfaces tell tales of time and erosion, showcasing the forces that have shaped this geological wonder over centuries. The image captures a moment frozen in time - fallen rocks lie amidst scrub land as evidence of past rock falls. This snapshot from Earth Science offers a glimpse into physical geography and igneous rock formations. Basaltic lava flows have left their mark here, creating these stunning columnar basalt structures that stand tall against the backdrop of Washington State's natural beauty. Science Photo Library brings us this remarkable visual representation, allowing us to appreciate both the scientific significance and aesthetic allure of our planet's geological wonders.
