- 북아일랜드 앤트림 고원가의 해안을 따라 뻗은 현무암질의 절벽  
- 약 40,000여개의 원주(Column)가 바다로부터 튀어나와 늘어서 있음  
- 이 특이한 지형은 지리학자들의 연구의 초점이 되어 지구과학 발달에 크게 공헌하였다

The Giant's Causeway lies at the foot of the basalt cliffs along the sea coast on the edge of the Antrim plateau in Northern Ireland. It is made up of some 40,000 massive black basalt columns sticking out of the sea. The dramatic sight has inspired legends of giants striding over the sea to Scotland. Geological studies of these formations over the last 300 years have greatly contributed to the development of the earth sciences, and show that this striking landscape was caused by volcanic activity during the Tertiary, some 50–60 million years ago.
