Keywords: green blackandwhite monochrome outdoor black and white From Encyclopedia: Promontory of Solumnar basalt on the N. Coast of County Antrim, Ireland. It consists of some 40,000 closely packed polygonal pillars, the pentagonal and hexagonal formations largely predominating. The causeway is 2½ miles NE of Bushmills and is divided by "Whin dykes" into three natural platforms known as the Little Causeway, the Middle or Honeycomb Causeway, and the Grand Causeway. The pillars have a varying diameter of from 15 to 20 inches, each consisting of several joints, concave and convex at the extremities, which fit perfectly into each other. The peculiar formation of the columns is generally ascribed to the cooling and cracking of the lava. From Encyclopedia: Promontory of Solumnar basalt on the N. Coast of County Antrim, Ireland.
