A pile of black lava rocks for Bernard's sign in "S.O.S."

Jack in front of a black rock at the line

In "S.O.S.", Bernard starts building an SOS sign from black rocks he found in a lava field 1/2 mile inland from the beach. The Island has igneous (volcanic) origins, like almost all islands in the Pacific, so it is composed in great part of a black volcanic rock called basalt.

Igneous rocks contain large proportions of metal elements such as iron and manganese. This gives the rocks magnetic properties which form anomalies in the earth's natural magnetic and gravitational field.

Lava-formed coastlines are also apparent in the rocky vistas seen in the following episodes:

1. "Homecoming": As Jack gets the guns from the hidden Halliburton case.
2. "Exodus, Part 1": As the party hikes toward the Black Rock with Arzt and Danielle Rousseau.
3. "Exodus, Part 2": As the party returns from the Black Rock.
4. "Abandoned": As the Tailies are walking along the coast to the other side of the Island.
5. "The Other 48 Days": As the Tailies continue their trek.
6. "Live Together, Die Alone": As Desmond follows Kelvin out the coast and confronts him as he discovers his sailboat Elizabeth.
7. "S.O.S.": As Jack and Kate attempt a prisoner exchange with the Others at the Line.
8. "Tricia Tanaka Is Dead": As Hurley and Charlie roll the DHARMA van down a steep hill, narrowly avoiding crashing into some black rocks.

This stone was what allegedly drew compass needles north.
• The novel Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon contains a song called "The Aqyn's Song" with the following lyric: "It is north, for a six-day ride,/Through the steep and death-gray canyons,/Then across the stony desert/To the mountain whose peak is a white dzurt./And if you have passed without danger,/The place of the black rock will find you."

Trivia

• Lost is filmed on location in Hawaii, the islands of which were created by volcanism. Hawaii sits on what geologists call a "hotspot" or "mantle plume". This is a superheated portion of the Earth's upper mantle which produces an above average amount of volcanic activity. Its residents have many words to describe different types of lava flows. Lava coastlines are sometimes visible in Lost, e.g., the cove.
