this is one of Northern Ireland’s most
remarkable in popular sites a place of
science and mythology people flocked
each year to see the Giant’s Causeway
the Emerald Isle’s first world heritage
site for some this honeycomb pattern of
40,000 basalt columns is a geological
wonder for others like former guide Hill
dick it’s a playground for the mind and
the home of a mythical giant named Finn
McCool Finn was one of the great
characters and Irish mythology or if you
like Irish fact he had a problem with an
Scottish giant who lived 25 miles across
the sea so he decided he would go to
Scotland then McCulloch was not a good
swimmer so he used the material the
volcanoes had left behind to build the
causeway to Scotland and he called it
the Giant’s Causeway with a little bit
of imagination you can find evidence of
the legends truth everywhere you look
but scientists like geologist Patrick
McKeever have their own story
they say Giant’s Causeway was created by
a volcanic event some 60 million years
ago long before humans ever lived
in this beautiful corner of the world
the lava that was erupted was her up
today Rick Lee and the flows were very
very thick basically if you picture you
know like wet mud in a on a hot day the
mud dries and that’s a dries it shrinks
and as it shrinks you get cracks for me
and it was basically those conditions
that allowed these
polygonal hexagonal columns to form
since the 1800s Giant’s Causeway and
it’s nearby coasts have been major
tourist destinations
but you don’t have to be a believer to
understand their allure you can weave
your own story around it you can look at
a rock and say that reminds me of
something oh that looks like something
and the wonder in the eyes of these
children suggests the story of Finn
McCool won’t fade away
