Original Note:
These are natural basalt rock formations. The hexagonal shape is the result of a natural response to the stress of contraction. As lava contracts, it form shapes that reduce stress, hexagons are the most efficient way to achieve this while maintaining a consistent shape. https://geologyscience.com/rocks/basalt/?amp https://askanearthspacescientist.asu.edu/top-question/columnar-jointing
