Stock photo description

The Giant's Causeway is an area of about 40,000 interlocking basalt columns on the northeast coast of Northern Ireland. It is the result of an ancient volcanic eruption. The tops of the columns form stepping stones to the sea. Most of the columns are hexagonal, although there are also some with four, five, seven or eight sides. The tallest are about 40 feet high.

It was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1986, and a National Nature Reserve in 1987 by the Department of the Environment for Northern Ireland.

A definite must see in Northern Ireland.
