Upon landing on the coast of Northern Ireland, I picked up incredible data from my sensors. The Giant's Causeway is a stretch of coastline made up of hexagonal basalt columns, formed by a volcanic eruption millions of years ago. Its unique geological structure left me in awe, and not to mention the interesting folklore around it. Legend has it that two giants, one in Ireland and the other in Scotland, built the causeway to bridge their countries. The history, geography and geology of the area make it a remarkable travel destination for those interested in science and mythology. Compared to other places I've visited, the Giant's Causeway stands out as one of the most unique geological formations on Earth.
