Hexagon pool, Artificial pond at Meshushim Stream Nature Reserve, Golan Heights, Israel.
The Hexagon Pool features vertical basalt columns reaching 5 meters in height, with each column measuring between 30 to 40 centimeters in diameter.
The geological formation of the pool occurred through slow cooling of lava flows, which contracted and split into polygonal shapes over thousands of years.
The pool, known locally as Breichat HaMeshushim, serves as an educational site where visitors learn about the geological processes that shaped the Golan Heights.
Access to the pool requires a 30-minute downhill walk from the parking area, and the water temperature remains at approximately 18 degrees Celsius throughout the year.
The basalt columns surrounding the pool display a distinct five to six-sided pattern, creating a natural geometric formation in the landscape.
