		Such a ridge may be formed when lava flows along a surface and drops into a crack or crevice, filling it up; the supporting sides eventually erode away, leaving only the shape of the original fissure.
		The smoothness of flow is partly due to the chemical composition of the lava which has a comparatively low proportion of silica (silicon dioxide) and a comparatively high proportion of calcium (as feldspar) and magnesium (as pyroxene).
		Although the lava slopes have stabilized, the soil remains very hot, and at a depth of 1 m/3.3 ft, the soil and rock hold temperatures up to 300°C/572°F. In the far distance another volcanic island can be seen.
