Shiloh Posted April 14, 2018 #2 Share Posted April 14, 2018 (edited) That must have been an awe inspiring and maybe even frightening sight to earlier generations. It is still awesome however. Edited April 14, 2018 by Vilasarius 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is still awesome however. I was thinking about this and wishing I could hear some of the early stories it inspired. What am amazing site that is, even in pictures. I'd like to see it in person. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Not A Rockstar Posted April 14, 2018 #4 Share Posted April 14, 2018 LOL can you imagine? Telling someone volcanos made it, they'd never believe something so silly as that, when obviously giants had been there sometime before I love the natural world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DieChecker Posted April 15, 2018 #6 Share Posted April 15, 2018 I've always liked the way this natural feature looked. I hope to go there and take a look at it some day. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Socks Junior Posted April 15, 2018 #7 Share Posted April 15, 2018 There are some nice examples of hexagonal cooling joints in the US too! The Southwest has a lot of good ones. Some just right off the highway in Southern Colorado that we take the youths to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
