Interesting lava formations, called pillow lava, due to their cushion-like shape. They are formed when hot lava comes into contact with water (for example, the explosion occurred underwater).

Hiking

You can drive up to the starting point in a four-wheel drive vehicle, but with a normal car you should look for a parking space at the end of the asphalt road, the hike will be longer accordingly.
