The basalt headland
at Cape Voltaire. a The northern
side of the headland. Tsunami
flow has cut a smooth, undular
ramped surface across columnar
basalt. Note the scarcity of debris
evacuated from this quarry.

north side of the headland has
been transported by the tsunami
to the lee of the headland
sheltered from cyclone waves.
The columnar basalt blocks are
aligned with the direction of
flow—3508 northwest
