The Giant's Causeway Coast lies at the foot of basalt cliffs along the seafront on the edge of the Antrim plateau in Northern Ireland, and it remains a spectacular area of global geological importance. It is protected by UNESCO not only for its beauty, but also for its cliffs, seashores, marshes, and grasslands that are home to some 50 species of birds, as well as to more than 200 species of plants. The most characteristic and unique feature of the site is the exposure of some 40,000 large, regularly shaped polygonal columns of basalt in perfect horizontal sections, forming a pavement. Though a volcano is likely the cause, romantic and adventurous tales about giants and lost loves are certainly more thrilling explanations!
