Basalt columns



These columns are so perfect that one can hardly believe that they were not the work of man. Millions of years ago, then it was flooded by lava, which eventually cooled off and started to break away, so today we can witness this exciting event.

Fire rainbow



Fire rainbow can be seen when the light is reflected in the ice crystals in the clouds at high altitude. This phenomenon can be so extensive that often extends all along the horizon.
