Other features of the mountain include cliffs, caves, waterfalls and a large pool of seawater in the center that the Bewilderbeast lives in. These plant species are fed by the mineral-rich water from the hot springs and thrive because of the warm, moist climate within the mountain. Inside the ice-roofed caldera exists many plant species, from the green lichen that cling to the basaltic rock, to the ferns that have established a foothold in the relatively flat plateaus, rocks, steps, and cliffs. The thermal activity paired with the ice roof creates an unusually warm climate compared to the surrounding area. Because the mountain sits in a volcanic region, the area is still geologically active, resulting in a great number of hot springs. These formations are the ancient refinements of a pyroclastic eruption where a basin of lava was able to cool down slowly, forming the iconic rock pillars. The mountain is comprised solely of hexagon and polygon basaltic formations. Valka's Mountain is a prime example of Nature's architecture and the mighty Bewilderbeast's ingenuity.
