Basalt pillars, Unseen volcano, Buriram

This basalt column is located on an area of ​​over 7 rai, over 20 meters deep in the Ban Khok Makha Ron water storage area in Tambon Sadao, Amphoe Nang Rong, Buriram Province. It can be said that it is a large basalt column that is the most complete and beautiful. The wall of the rock looks like the Gerduberg Cliff in Iceland. The formation of basalt columns Basalt columns are formed from the structure of igneous rocks that are broken into long columns that are similar to columns and are arranged parallel to each other. They are of equal size and are geometric. Each column has a square cross-section. Generally, it is often found in the shape of a square to a hexagon. This is because it is caused by the cooling and hardening of magma or lava. As it cools, it contracts, causing the column-shaped cracks that we see. It looks similar to the Grand Canyon, but the formation is completely different. It is recommended to come in the morning when the light is beautiful and the sun is not hot. There are shops selling food and drinks in this area. There is no entrance fee. #Buriram #Isan travel south #Basalt pillars
