Clamshell and Fingal's Cave on the Isle of Staffa, in the Inner Hebrides. Staffa
which is a National Nature Reserve, is comprised of several basalt lava
flows that formed during the Palaeogene around 60 million years ago. The
caves occur within the lowest and thickest lava flow. The columns
formed as the molten lava cooled and contracted. © Lorne Gill/SNH
