The Giant’s Causeway located in Ireland

The Giant’s Causeway is a unique and wondrous masterpiece of science and nature. The rock formations were formed 60 million years ago by the cooling and shrinking of successive lava flows.

The Giant’s Causeway has a lot of myths and legends that go along with it. The code is that the coast was carved by a mighty giant, Finn MC Cool; he left behind a home full of folklore. The causeway is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is a geological masterpiece with over 40,000 interlocking basalt columns. The causeway is the result of lots of volcanic and geological activity. The causeway became known in the late 1700s.

I truly enjoyed looking at all the volcanic formations that formed over the 60 million-year span. I liked looking at the buildings called the onion skins. They were covered with a white color that looked like it was peeling away from the rock formations. The rock formation called Giant Finn rock organ looked like the pipes of a real working organ. Legend has it that you can hear Finn playing his rock organ on a windy day. There is a formation that looks like a camel. One of the rock formations is called the Giant’s boot. It is said that the Giant was running and lost one of his boots.

I was fascinated by the different plant life growing between the rocks on the ground. I took pictures of many other colorful small flowering plants. The bed was very soft and boggy to walk on. Allow at least one hour to look at the rock formations and listen to the guided tour. I enjoyed looking at the rock columns and all the mighty acts of nature, science, and miracles.

I would highly recommend stopping at the Giant’s Causeway located in Ireland. I guarantee you will be impressed with what Mother Nature can form over the years.
