Look at Lacada Point at the Giant’s Causeway
I thought the hexagonal rock formations of the Giant’s Causeway were absolutely amazing. The curiously shaped rocks seemed very artificial when there were actually made from a totally natural process. The legend of the Giant’s Causeway didn’t tell why the rocks were hexagonally shaped. Finn MacCool must have been quite the artist and engineer to have made all these almost uniformly shaped rocks. Actually, not all of the rocks were hexagonally shaped, most are though. The basalt columns sink into the sea as we look towards Scotland. It is not unreasonable to think that there would be more of these under the sea.

These rocks are not only limited to this part of the United Kingdom. There are also equivalents on the other side of the sea. In particular, Scotland, the part which is nearest Ireland has a lot of these. It is not too far fetched to think that these were all formed all at the same time. It is kind of hard to imagine that there was volcanic activity here in this area but millions of years ago, this place was volcanically active and gave birth to the Giant’s Causeway we see now. Either that, or Finn MacCool did a fantastically good job to build this amazing piece of work.
