Puffing Holes - Poll an tSéideáin

Aran Islands - Oileáin Árann - Inishmore - Inis Mór - Co. Galway - Ireland

The Puffing Holes - Na Poill Seideáin - are two large and circular holes about 100 meters from the cliff edge, on the south east head of Inishmore. When tides are high and the rough sea, the holes shoot water out of it like whale's blowhole hence the name ("Blow hole").
Les trous souffleurs - Na Poill Seideáin - sont deux grands trous  situés à environ 100 mètres de la falaise au sud-est de l'île. Quand les marées sont hautes et la mer agitée, les trous éjectent l'eau en surface comme des souffles de baleine, d'où leur nom de "trous souffleurs".
