Great video! I've luckily visited Fingal's cave on Staffa Island, Scotland. When I showed a Y12 class photos of this cave one student asked if Weta workshop had made it!

Even Weta can't beat the real world if you know where to look!

You're WRONG! If I know basalt columns, and I don't: it was because a giant was trying to build a causeway to New Zealand to defeat another giant there that was hurling boulders at him. Don't you know anything?!

No, no, no - you’re confusing New Zealand with Scotland & Northern Ireland! 😅 Giant’s Causeway on one side of the Irish Sea, Fingal’s Cave on the other (off Iona). Maybe your world map was upside down?! 😊

@@lindaj5492 Yes, oui, ja - New Zealanders can have giants too. Read the first reply, even the experts agree with me.

Great video. We have several columnar basalt sites around Dunedin however they are not as spectacular as that.

Such a great video, thanks! Would you guys consider doing a video that looks at the geologic impact of an organic process? e.g., middens, microbe trails, etc..

Glad you like it. Not quite sure what you are thinking of in terms of geological impact..

these are remnants of the ancient stone trees that grew here and were cut down for their minerals eons ago

They remind me of polygonal architectural structures in Centeral / South America & other places around the world.

Very similar to the giant’s causeway. Only it’s 20 million years older.
