The first that we will look at is the organ pipes themselves. Which are large columnar basalt, formed from previous volcanic eruptions. We'll look into the mechanisms of their creation and how lava flows enveloped the ancient river that once flowed through here. • After this we will look at the Rosette Rock, which is a formation that is rarely seen around the world. It's a striking display of columnar basalt that has formed a radial pattern. It resembles a rose or the spokes of a giant wheel. It likely formed from a lava flow that filled a cave, that was most likely constructed from an earlier lava flow. The result is a true geological oddity. • Along with the Rosette Rock we also look at the Tessellated Pavement. This columnar basalt formation is similar to the Organ Pipes that we looked at in the previous video, only it is the very top of the columns revealing the typical hexagonal shapes, which have been worn down by the nearby Jackson's creek, smoothing them out. • Thank you so much for watching! • If you are not in a position to donate, I totally understand!
