Hello Shelgyeyr: The formations are thought provoking. They could be smokers as has been suggested. I believe the area was submerged during the time of wind and dust, and probably before. The mountain to the south would be an island above the water line.

http://www.panoramio.com/photo/8430092The whole area is covered with basalt. A huge thunderbolt struck just to the WNW.

Anything above the waterline got zapped into basalt. NOT volcanic basalt. Everything changes in an Electrical Universe.
http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ie=UT ... 3&t=h&z=14Electricity seems to produce columnar objects. Whether the hexagon of Saturn, or the edges of basalt formations. The edges of basalt formations are where the hexagon and other columnar shapes are found. The shapes are blamed on slow cooling. But the slow cooling wold happen in the center, not the edge. And i don't think the formation has had millions of years to erode. More than 10,000 would be in opposition to most EU timelines. If someone wants to apply millions or billions of years i don't know why they would waste their time on this forum.
Apparently the Hebrews knew that a bronze statue of a fire serpent would protect them from the fire serpents. Sounds like a lightning rod/arrester.

Following the exodus from Egypt, the Israelites suffer a bitter consequence in the form of serpents. They become impatient after journeying around the land of Edom, and complain about the manna God has been providing. God's anger is provoked, and Numbers 21:6 states that He sends "fiery" (saraph, also translated "venomous" and "poisonous") serpents among the people. Many are bitten and die. Moses is instructed by God in verse 8 to make a bronze poisonous or fiery serpent (also saraph) and set it on a standard or pole, so that those victims who look on it may live. Obeying God, the bronze serpent (nahash) is produced by Moses and those who look on it live, as recounted in verse 9.
Ya can't make this stuff up. I heard this while driving through the mountains of Colorado. It's not mentioned in Worlds in Collision.
Laplanders refer to red, green, and blue fire serpents. The aurora can be red, green, or blue. Probably a coincidence.
I'll post my response here on the dune thread.
