We researched how this gorges were formed, we found one scientific responce and a legend.

The scientific responce was that layer of lava covered the alcantara river and it tried to erode the stone, that passing from hot to cold shrunk and like a puddle of mud it tried to get ino the best shape it could, an hexagon and with the river passing by it "cutted" his way to the sea.

The legend told of two brother, both of they were farmers  but one was blind, and the seeing one stole the grain on his brother, the gods were furius, and they had trown a lightning transforming the grain in the mountain Mojo,  trimming the earth and cousing Etna to erupt, creating this beautifull scenario. 

We found that the scientific formation took place due to the eruptions of the Etna and the rock is basalt, we also reserched about the formation of basalt and what type of rock this is.

We discovered a blog  named 'Dan Flying Solo' by Daniel James Clarke and analysed it and took inspiration by it.
