Bazaltovi Stovpy, Protected geological formation in Rivne Oblast, Ukraine.
The basalt columns, reaching heights of 30 meters, form vertical hexagonal structures across an area of 0.8 hectares near the village of Basalt.
The stone formations emerged 600 million years ago through volcanic processes, when cooling lava created crystallized geometric patterns in the rock structures.
Scientists and researchers conduct regular geological studies at the site to examine the mineral composition, including adular, chlorite, quartz, and calcite deposits.
The natural monument includes designated observation areas and hiking paths that allow visitors to examine the massive columns from different viewing angles throughout the year.
Each basalt column measures between 0.6 to 1.2 meters in diameter and displays perfect geometric shapes formed through natural crystallization processes.
