Mark and I left Dublin and took the train north to Belfast. One of the highlights of Northern Ireland that we both really wanted to see was the
Giant's Causeway. I is a very unique geological feature that is only found in a few places in the world. It is a section of basalt that has cooled into the shape of giant hexagonal columns. They form through very complex processes, so I have included a photo of the sign that explains how they formed.
