Description

Den Giants Causeway er et område på omkring 40.000 sammenflettede basaltkolonner, resultatet af et gammelt vulkansk sprudseudbrud. Det ligger i County Antrim på den nordlige kyst af Nordirland, cirka tre miles nordøst for byen Bushmills.

Det blev erklæret som en Verdensarvsliste af UNESCO i 1986 og et nationalt naturreservat i 1987 af Miljøministeriet for Nordirland. I en meningsmåling blandt læserne af Radio Times i 2005 blev Giants Causeway kåret som det fjerde største naturlige vidunder i Det Forenede Kongerige. Toppen af kolonnerne danner trin, der fører fra klippens fod og forsvinder under havet. De fleste af kolonnerne er
hexagonale, selvom der også er nogle med fire, fem, syv eller otte sider. De højeste er omkring 12 meter høje, og den størknede lava i klipperne er 28 meter tyk nogle steder.
