Here you stand in front of a stony sea in the history of the earth: in front of you are countless basalt stones, which are created when the earth's mantle is melted. If the molten magma reaches the surface, it cools down and becomes basalt lava. Basalt is therefore of volcanic origin.

The Stone Sea is just one of the few sights that can be seen around this point. Have you photographed the card and attached it as a picture.
