The columns are used as decorative pieces in a traffic island at the airport. "The Columbia Basin of eastern Washington is plastered with deep layers of a fine grained black rock known as basalt. The basalt is lava that cooled and hardened after it flooded over the landscape. These astounding lava floods occurred on a scale unequaled anywhere else on the entire planet." (visit link)
