Port Noffer, The Giants Causeway (IMG0559)
The beautiful bay Port Noffer sweeps round in the warm evening light with the world famous Giant's Causeway stones projecting out into the glistening water.
The Giants Causeway was formed some 60-65 million years ago when molten lava, during intense volcanic activity, cooled and shrank in successive lava flows. This resulted in both vertical and horizontal contraction forming 40000 hexagonal basalt columns up to 12m in height.
