40,000 stone pillars from the masterpieces of nature stand on the north coast of Liam County, Ireland, England. Its name is

In Northern Ireland, there is a natural landscape called "Giant's Road" on the Atlantic coast about 80 kilometers from the capital Belfast, which is regarded as a rare natural miracle in the world. On the seashore stretching for several kilometers, as many as 40,000 basalt columns of uniform size stand side by side in the sea, forming a natural dam. Every stone pillar is like a place where a giant walked, hence the name "Giant's Road". Such an orderly arrangement of stone pillars is rare, and people can't help but suspect that it is not natural carving but artificial deliberate stacking.

This rare natural wonder has been listed as a world natural heritage by UNESCO. From here, people can clearly see that this "dam" is composed of stone pillars, and the cross section of each stone pillar is hexagonal, as if it had been cut evenly, tightly packed together and buried firmly on the coast, and it is pure natural, which is unbelievable that this is an artificial product.

These rock formations have stood on the coast for tens of millions of years. Because the stone pillars are constantly eroded by the waves and broken at different heights, the "Giant's Road" presents a rugged stepped appearance. Its orderly arrangement and beautiful shape, coupled with the gloomy weather unique to Northern Ireland, are particularly desolate, as if it were the end of the world, which amazed countless tourists.

The coast of Giant's Road includes low tide area, cliff, the road leading to the top of the cliff and a flat land. The average height of the cliff is 65,438+000 meters. Volcanic lava overflowed five or six times in different periods, forming a multi-level structure of cliffs; Giant's Road is the most basalt-like place on this coastline. A large number of basalt columns are arranged together to form a spectacular basalt column forest, which is magnificent. The stone pillars are constantly eroded by the waves and cut off at different heights, resulting in the stepped appearance of the giant road.

Geologists have studied how this magical geological landscape was formed for centuries, and also revealed the mystery of this huge road's life experience; About 50 million years ago, volcanic activity was extremely active on the western edge of Scotland and the eastern edge of Northern Ireland. Molten basalt gushes from the fractured crust. When the hot lava gradually cools, shrinks and crystallizes, it explodes and cools to form a regular pattern, usually hexagonal, that is, hexagonal stone pillars that people see.

Today, the "Giant's Road" has become a famous tourist attraction in Northern Ireland. With the passage of time, the "Giant's Road" is known by more and more people, fascinated by people and has unparalleled charm. I believe it will give you a shocking spiritual journey.
