White Giantess.

This is Skessuhorn - also known as the "Matterhorn of Iceland" - a gorgeous glacier-sculpted basalt pyramid in the west of at Skarðsheiði. The name is derived from Skessa, a troll woman or giantess, because the outline resembles part of a lady lying on her back.
These were taken in February and in August.

Natural basalt pyramid.

This is Búlandstindur (1069m / 3500ft) between Berufjörður and Hamarsfjörður in eastern .

Basaltic strata like these have odd properties, they form hexagonal columns of an almost architectural neatness which are very strong vertically but layered horizontally so that slices flake off the tops. As the columns weather, structures such as this can form, resembling an Egyptian pyramid.

I very much enjoyed the and hashtags, but what I really want to know is where are their equivalents? A or and or (couldn't fit 'castle' into any English weekdays), perhaps? Are any of these a thing? Can we make them a thing?
