Giant's Causeway, World Heritage Site in Northern Ireland

The local basalt has a very special hexagonal structure. It is said that the Irish giant Finn MacCool decided to pile up stones to build a road to Scotland in order to fight his enemy Finn Gael. When his opponent Gale saw that a road had inexplicably appeared on the sea, he decided to go to the Irish coastline first to see what tricks Finn McCool was playing? As a result, Gail was frightened when he saw Finn McCool's huge body. McCool's wife thought the fuss was not big enough, so she exaggerated and lied to Gail, saying: This is just McCool's child, you just wait a moment and McCool will be back. After hearing this, Gale was so scared that he quickly fled back to Scotland. Not only that, he also demolished the cross-sea road for fear of being caught up by McCool. The Giant's Causeway that we see today is the remaining part after it was destroyed by Gale.
