Badacsony basalt towers

 
[ Sizes: Orig | Small | Thumb ]
Badacsony basalt towers
Basaltic (or basic) lava has low viscosity.

Once it cools down and solidify, it may take ages
before weathering impact will show.
Unlike hexahgonal shaped columnar joints
on northern sides of Badacsony, Southern side
overlooking the Balaton lake is lined with
eroded basalt towers, like those in the picture enclosed
