The Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland is a natural phenomenon that looks manmade! Around 40,000 columns of basalt left by volcanos have peculiarly geometric shapes. Legend attributes the formations to the Irish giant Finn McCool, who traveled over it to fight his Scottish enemies. Link -via Dark Roasted Blend

    Fingal’s Cave in the Hebrides of Scotland contains similar formations.
