The Most Unexplainable Places on Earth

Giant's Causeway

Giant's Causeway is a natural wonder on the coast of Northern Ireland. There are nearly 40,000 polygonal columns that were created by volcanic activity. They are made of black basalt and have a pavement-like texture. Local lore says that a giant named Finn McCool threw the chunks of the coast into the sea so that a stepping stone path to Scotland would form.
