About 140 million years ago, the eastern part of what is now called New Territories was a region with active volcano eruptions. On extremely violent eruption, a large depression was formed in that area and filled with hot volcanic ash, fragments and lava. When the molten lava cools, cracks begin to develop on its surface. Upon further cooling, the cracks begin to extend and propagate perpendicularly downward into the molten mass. Hexagonal columns thus formed from the contraction of the cooling rocks. The columns as seen here are about three quarter of a meter diagonally.
