# Ireland, Giants Road
This is a coastal area consisting of 40,000 (!) basalt columns connected to each other. It is also the most popular tourist attraction in Northern Ireland and a UNESCO world heritage site. The road of giants is the result of many years of volcanic eruptions. The lava, slowly solidifying, turned into hexagonal columns, the largest of which reaches 12 meters in height.
