The Giant's Causeway, with around 40, 000 interlocking basalt columns, is the result of a volcanic eruption during the Paleocene Epoch some 50 to 60 million years ago. The unique natural formation was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1986. Most of the columns are hexagonal, though some have four, five, seven or eight sides. The tallest are almost 40 feet high (12 meters), and the solidified lava in the cliffs is more than 90 feet thick (28 meters) in places. The lava contracted as it cooled, cracking in a similar way to drying mud, with the fractures extending down through the mass, creating pillarlike structures. These stone columns also fractured horizontally into segments with a convex bottom face and concave top.
