That must have been an awe inspiring and maybe even frightening sight to earlier generations. 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.

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.

No doubt. Tales of monster dens and the likes.

I've always liked the way this natural feature looked. I hope to go there and take a look at it some day.

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.
