Russia 🇷🇺, Kuril Islands, Cape Columnar

Cape Columnar is located on the southernmost island of the Great Kuril Ridge — Kunashir. It's like walking on the body of a dragon, and there are mysterious pillars of rock around. The pillars are hexagonal, actually of volcanic origin. 
 
Cape Columnar is an amazing formation that arose 6 million years ago as a result of the eruption of a volcano named after the great Russian chemist Mendeleev. It is obvious that the hot lava from the volcano flowed straight into the sea and then froze

Up close, Columnar makes an amazing and absolutely indelible impression. In the Kuril Islands, in general, terrestrial magnetism and a sense of novelty do strange things to the tourist's psyche, so that everything is realized only when viewing photos and videos upon returning home.
