Basaltic dykes
I'm not a geologist but am fascinated by the geology I saw in Greenland. Rode O had these interesting basaltic columnar dykes that had formed when volcanic magma has extruded up through the ancient red sandstone conglomerates and had cooled into hard structures that survived the erosion of the soft sandstone around them. The one in the foreground had separated from the surrounding sandstone, while another one on the far right was still embedded in the sediments. Rodefjord, Scoresby Sund, East Greenland.
