The basalt 'organ pipes', formed about a million years ago when a massive lava flow spread over the plains from nearby volcanic hills (probably those located around 6kms to the north). It filled an ancient creek bed and cooled very slowly to form a crust.

Bushmills, County Antrim, Northern Ireland, Ulster: Giant's Causeway (Irish: Clochán an Aifir) pattern of eroded hexagonal basalt columns entering the Atlantic Ocean - This area was mainly chalk when enormous amounts of highly fluid lava came to the surface from the depths some 60 million years ago. The constructive continental plate movement created rifts and oceanic spreading or sea floor spreading. This created a thick lava plateau. This lava cooled and shrank, so we still see the characteristic basalt columns today - UNESCO World Heritage Site 'The Giant's Causeway and Causeway Coast'.

The causeway of Phu yen - Ganh Da Dia - is a collection of many large rocks evenly rising up in their pentagonal shapes; it was formed by a volcanic eruption millions of years ago.

$Rock formations beside Fingal's Cave, a sea cave formed by long hexagonal basalt rock columns. It is on the uninhabited island of Staffa, reached by summer boat tours from Oban and the islands of Mull and Iona.\n\nThe interesting geological rock formations have been formed from lava flow in the Paleozoic era. The surfaces of the solidified lava has contracted and fractured creating these hexagonal column shaped basalt rocks, that have been weathered by waves and the sea over many millions of years.$

Ghenh Da Dia is about 50 m wide and stretches more than 200 m long, is one of the beautiful landscapes of Phu Yen. From above, one can see the sea reclamation area with hexagonal-shaped rocks, tightly attached to each other like a giant, regular piece of beeswax, creating a solid whole with glossy black color. This special rapids area was formed when a volcano poured lava into the sea. The hot lava flow meets the cold sea and freezes, along with the phenomenon of stress migration, causing the entire lava block to crack multi-dimensionally, creating today's amazing landscape.
