Wide coastal view of Giant’s Causeway with hexagonal basalt stones, tide pools, and Atlantic waves in Northern Ireland.

The Giants’ Causeway was not formed as a result of a battle between giants, but rather by an explosive volcanic event that took place 60 million years ago—an event that, as scientists have now determined, occurred over a shorter period of time
