Here are some definitions that might clarify something 🙂

The Jusangjeolli (주상절리, columnar jointing) cliff is a spectacular volcanic rock formation at the southern coast of Jeju Island, South Korea.

Lava is the molten rock expelled by a volcano during an eruption. The resulting rock after solidification and cooling is also called lava.

A column or pillar in architecture and structural engineering is a structural element that transmits, through compression, the weight of the structure above to other structural elements below.

An island /ˈaɪlənd/ or isle /ˈaɪl/ is any piece of sub-continental land that is surrounded by water. Very small islands such as emergent land features on atolls can be called islets, skerries, cays or keys.
