RMF1KX4X–19th Century view of Fingal's Cave on the Island of Staffa, Inner Hebrides, Scotland. It features the same interlocking hexagonal basalt columns, as the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland, also the result of an ancient volcanic fissure eruption.

$The hexagonally jointed basalt columns, (similar in structure to the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland) at Fingal's Cave, a sea cave on the uninhabited island of Staffa, in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland. Formed by the cooling action on the upper and lower surfaces of the solidified lava resulted in contraction and fracturing, transitioning to a regular hexagonal fracture pattern with fractures perpendicular to the cooling surfaces. As cooling continued these cracks gradually extended toward the centre of the flow, forming the long hexagonal columns seen today. Stock Photo$
