“The World's Great Wonders”

Giant’s Causeway (Northern Ireland). Legend claims that this rocky peninsula is the handiwork of an angry giant, but the real story behind the striking basalt columns is even more extraordinary. The remarkable hexagonal columns formed around 50 millions years ago during a period of intense volcanic activity deep underground. Molten rock was forced to the surface cooled, contracted and cracked apart into 40,000 vertical basalt columns. (Photo by Stuart Stevenson photography/Getty Images)
