Columnar basalt

Vikingbugt Inlet in Scoresby Sund, East Greenland has a great display of columnar basalt, formed when lava flows cool slowly and shrinks forming hexagonal cracks that can be dozens of feet long. There were some beautiful sweeping curves in this geological formation with the reddish colour of the rocks coming from iron.
