🎧 Listen to Introduction
The Giant's Causeway is located at the foot of basalt cliffs on the coast at the edge of the Antrim Plateau in Northern Ireland. It consists of approximately 40,000 huge black basalt columns that protrude from the sea. This spectacular sight has inspired legends of giants crossing the sea to reach Scotland. Geological studies of these formations over the past 300 years have greatly advanced the development of earth science and have shown that this striking landscape was created by volcanic activity in the Tertiary Period, approximately 50-60 million years ago.
