Giant´s Causeway

The giant´s Causeway is an area of basalt colums, the result of an ancient volcanic eruption. It is in Northern Ireland.
It was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
According to legend, the columns are the remains of a causeway built by a giant. The story tells that the Irish giant Finn was challenged to a fight by the Scottish giant Ben. Finn accepted the challenge and built the causeway across the North Channer so that the two giants could meet. There are some versions of the story. In one version Finn´s wife disguises him as a baby to scare Ben.
