Greetings. What is your opinion on the origin of big rocks that are visible at this location at Mons Hansteen (also known as the "Arrowhead"). One of the rocks casts a particularly long shadow.

Could they be volcanic plugs, or simply hard rocks exposed through erosion? Would love to hear your take on this. Thanks.
