Giant’s Causeway is a natural marvel characterized by its hexagonal basalt columns, formed by volcanic activity millions of years ago. These unique formations have captivated visitors for centuries, earning it UNESCO World Heritage status.
Legend has it that Giant’s Causeway was built by the Irish giant, Fionn mac Cumhaill, as a pathway to Scotland to confront his Scottish rival. The myth adds an enchanting layer to the already mesmerizing landscape.
The Giant’s Causeway, a stunning promontory of basalt columns stretching along 4 miles (6 km) of Northern Ireland’s northern coast, is a sight to behold. Located between Causeway Head and Benbane Head, approximately 25 miles (40 km) northeast of Londonderry, it boasts around 40,000 of these remarkable stone pillars. Each column typically exhibits five to seven irregular sides, protruding from the cliff faces as if forming steps leading into the sea.
Formed some 50 to 60 million years ago during the Paleogene Period, the Giant’s Causeway was created by the gradual cooling of lava upon reaching the ocean. Successive lava flows inching towards the coast cooled rapidly upon contact with the sea, resulting in layers of basalt that eventually formed into magnificent columns. The pressure exerted between these columns sculpted them into polygonal shapes ranging from 15 to 20 inches (38 to 51 cm) in diameter and towering up to 82 feet (25 meters) in height. These formations adorn cliffs averaging about 330 feet (100 meters) in elevation.
