Basalt columns on Staffa
This shows the 3 layers of volcanic rock on Staffa, formed from lava from 3 volcanic eruptions. Each layer has cooled and formed rock with different characteristics, the middle layer of basalt columns being the most spectacular. The figure standing at the top of the cliff gives an idea of scale.
