Giant's Causeway, County
Antrim, Northern Ireland
It's hardly surprising that this surreal
hexagonal rock formation on the coast of Antrim in Northern Ireland is steeped
in magical legends. According to local legend, the causeway was built by Irish
giant Finn McCool so he could cross over to Scotland to confront his rival
Benandonner. However, scientists would argue that the 40,000
near-perfect basalt "steps" were caused by intense volcanic
activity some 50 to 60 million years ago. Either way, there's no denying the
unique beauty of Northern Ireland's only UNESCO World Heritage Site.
