Giant's Road

Giant Road is located on the Atlantic coast about 80 kilometers northwest of Belfast, Northern Ireland. It is regarded as a natural wonder of the world, with tens of thousands of basalt rock columns of uneven size gathering into a causeway stretching for several kilometers. For 300 years, geologists have studied its structure and learned that it was formed by the continuous eruption of active volcanoes in the Tertiary. In 1986, the "Giant Road" was listed as a world natural heritage. At the foot of the mountain along the coastal cliff, there are more than 37000 hexagonal, pentagonal and quadrangular stone pillars, which stretch out from the sea, from the cliff to the sea, standing on the shore of the sea for thousands of years.

"Giant Road" is a famous tourist attraction in Northern Ireland, which was listed as a world natural heritage by UNESCO in 1986. It is said that in ancient times, the Irish giant wanted to duel with the Scottish giant, so it was to dig stone pillars, fill the sea floor, and pave a causeway leading to Scotland. The causeway was destroyed, leaving only a remnant of the current one. Geologists studied the structure and found that this natural ladder was formed by the overflow and crystallization of volcanic lava after the continuous eruption of active volcano. After being eroded by the sea waves, the stone pillar groups are cut off at different heights, presenting the uneven stone pillar forest landform. On the coast of the "Giant's Road", more than 40000 of these basalt columns are arranged irregularly and stretch for several kilometers, which is magnificent. In some film and television works, you can also see the Giant's Road or similar landscapes, such as Dragon Taming Master.
