Giant's Causeway and Causeway Coast
The Giant's Causeway lies at the foot of the basalt cliffs along the sea coast on the edge of the Antrim plateau in Northern Ireland. It is made up of some 40,000 massive black basalt columns sticking out of the sea. The dramatic sight has inspired legends of giants striding over the sea to Scotland. Geological studies of these formations over the last 300 years have greatly contributed to the development of the earth sciences, and show that this striking landscape was caused by volcanic activity during the Tertiary, some 50–60 million years ago.
Mythology states it was a bridge from scottland to ireland.Scottish giant was to come over and fight a Irish giant but the Irish giant disguised himself as a baby and when the Scottish giant seen the size of the baby he didn't stick around to see the big one and he destroyed the bridge and what's now left is the giant's causeway.
