Slow cooling of a basaltic lava flow that was erupted about 500,000 years ago resulted in the formation of hexagonal columns at Sheepeater Cliff, in Yellowstone National Park.

A 1.5-million-year-old basaltic lava flow in the canyon wall of the Yellowstone River as viewed from Calcite Springs Overlook near Tower Junction in Yellowstone National Park. Slow cooling of this lava flow resulted in the formation of vertical columns. Glacial gravels are present above and below the lava flow.

View to the southeast through the area affected by the increased thermal output at Norris' Back Basin in the summer of 2003. The foreground shows steaming areas where boiling water and steam have approached the surface, resulting in increased ground temperatures.
