The Giants Causway

NORTHERN IRELAND

THE GIANTS CAUSEWAY

This UNESCO world heritage site has some 40,000 interlocking , mainly hexagonal basalt columns .Some of these columns are 40 ft high . Close to the cliffs the lava layer is almost 100ft thick in places . These columns were caused by intense volcanic activity some 50 – 60 million years ago when vast fields of molten basalt bubbled through beds of chalk. As the basalt cooled , it contracted from the surface downwards, forming the separated columns .

Over the years , this natural wonder has , not surprisingly , become one of Ireland’s greatest tourist attractions and most of the advertising posters feature it .
