Gerðuberg Basalt Columns
It must be fun being a geologist in Iceland.
At this place (which of course comes with a rust-red crater as a backdrop just nearby), has basalt columns up to 14 meters high. Each column has a diameter of 1-1,5 metres. Just below there are a pile of cubes with the same shape, that looks like they have dropped of the cliff. And this is not just a single place - it goes on for half a kilometer.
A short stop on our way back from the Snæfellsnes peninsula to Reykjavik.
