Sounds like something out of Zelda BOTW.

To be fair, both the caves and the places in Zelda games were named by Japanese people.

That is a stunning part of the cave.

Reminds me a bit of the basalt columns at giant's causeway. What are these columns made of?

[–] TheChriggu@feddit.org 2 points 1 month ago

Basalt columns are exactly what these are. My understanding is that the lava flow in this location forked and combined into different directions quite a bit, before the uniform cooling. Which is how it gets all these curves.
