The Giant's Causeway is a sea-level promontory outcrop and pavement running out to sea. It is the ground level section of approximately 40,000 almost entirely regular polygonal columns averaging 45cm in diameter, formed by rapid cooling of extruded lavas. |

La Chaussée des Géants est un promotoire pavé qui plonge dans la mer et qui se compose environ de 40000 colonnes hexagonales de 45 cm de diamètres formées par le refroidissement rapide de la lave en fusion. |
