Ireland 11

Giant's Causeway was so unique and spectacular that it deserved its very own blog! The Causeway is made up of thousands of basalt columns that are all perfectly hexagonal in shape. It is thought that this was formed thousands of years ago through volcanic eruptions and the alternate heating and cooling. It was like thousands of stepping stones that were very fun to climb/walk over!
View of the tallest columns there.

Great view of the shape of the columns.
