Исторические снимки древних вулканических столбов в Керемосе напоминают о геологической истории долины

Historic photo highlights ancient volcanic Keremeos Columns Timeless volcanic towers A couple of images of the Keremeos Columns are shining a light on the volcanic ancient history of the Similkameen. On Sunday, the Similkameen Country Development Association shared new and old photos of the columns at Keremeos Columns Provincial Park. "Formed by volcanic activity over 30 million years ago, these towering rock formations have been part of the Similkameen Valley long before people ever called it home, reads a social media post. "For generations, people have been drawn to the Columns. This historic photo, paired with one from today, is a reminder that some places remain timeless." According to the province, the columns were formed from slowly-cooled lava, sharing the same geological phenomenon as the Giant Causeway in Northern Ireland and the Devil’s Tower in Wyoming State. The columns are located north of Keremeos on private property and cannot be accessed. However, the natural landmark can be viewed from the valley below at designated park viewpoints off Highway 3.
