Scientists identify volcanic event creating Giant’s Causeway
Scientists have determined that the Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland was formed over 5.5 million years ago during a major volcanic event, rather than by mythical giants. The basalt columns resulted from intense volcanic activity linked to a globally significant event recorded in rocks across the North Atlantic, including Scotland and Greenland. This research refines the timeline of volcanic activity in the region and provides a broader geological context for the formation of the UNESCO World Heritage site.
