It's not granite, it's columnar basalt. Iceland is one of the few places in the world that has them. They're made when massive volcanic eruptions in the distant past deposited large amounts of very hot ash. While the top layers of the ash could cool fairly rapidly, the deeper parts would be insulated for a long time, allowing the large columnar crystals that you see here to form.
I've been living in Eastern Washington State, which also has them.
