Its hexagonal pillars are quite regular in size, mostly twelve to fourteen metres high and about one and a half metres in diameter. The basalt was formerly lava flowing from a volcano; which was rapidly cooled when it met the sea and formed these even shapes as a result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I realise not everyone likes to be nominated for this sort of thing so I&#8217;m not nominating any more people.
