Kalogeros
Kalogeros,
meaning "the Monk" is a 60m tall rock stack composed entirely of
columnar jointed basalt.
Each
column is
a
polygonal
prism, formed by the
contraction
of volcanic lava
during cooling.
Individual columns are about
20 cm in diameter, for the most part, however larger columns in the lower
right are 50-80 cm in diameter.
Similar rocks occur at
Glaronisia and
Sikia. |
