The Giants Causeway by cj-ibbotson



© Chris Ibbotson Photography 2014 This is my final upload of my Giants Causeway series I took back on a beautiful evening in May. The Giants Causeway was formed some 60-65 million years ago when molten lava, during intense volcanic activity, cooled and shrank in successive lava flows when hitting the ocean. This resulted in both vertical and horizontal contraction forming 40000 hexagonal basalt columns up to 12m in height. Legend would tell you that giant Finn MacCool built the Causeway to Scotland to fight Scottish giant Benandonner.
