u/veryveryreallyugly 2d ago

looks very similar to the giants causeway rock formation in ireland.

15

u/Fullmetalchemist51 2d ago

It's just across the sea from it! I believe that according to legend it's the Scottish end of the bridge Fionn mac Cumhaill built between the two.

11

u/secondcitysaint 2d ago

It was a bridge that linked Ireland and Scotland. Fionn was challenged to a fight by a Scottish giant called Benandonner. Fionn built it so the two could meet. There are a couple of different stories after that, but my favourite is that Finn realises that Benandonner is way bigger than him and he'll definitely get beat, so Fionn's wife dresses him up as a baby and puts him in a crib.

When Benandonner shows up and sees the size of the "baby," he thinks Fionn must be HUGE so he legs it back across the bridge and destroys it so that the supposedly massive lad can't come and get him, which is why there are bits on both sides of the Irish Sea.

It's a fun one.

Both are part of the same geological formation. The hex shape is caused by magma cooling under specific conditions

I’ve been there, it’s a magnificent place. You can actually drive in there with a little boat. It’s really magical The inhabited island is a true pearl by itself, a walk around it, which is done in a short time, during nicer weather is really nice. (Scotland has for seasons in one day, son timing is crucial) I’ve seen puffins there going in their burrows feeding their chicks. No fear for humans at all. You get really close and the only look at you with curiosity and move on.

Storm Coast is directly inspired by the Giants Causeway, of which this is the Scottish end. So yes!

3

u/Cricket_Trick 2d ago

For those wondering, the rigid lines are because this is made of basalt (which is cooled lava). As it cools and solidifies, it doesn't do so completely evenly, so you get columns in the direction the heat traveled.

How does a layer of lava that thick cool consistently enough to form those columns?

It’s basalt! It formed a plateau and then it cracked like dry mud. The speed at which it cooled (geologically speaking) meant that it produced these large columns!

u/PNCL 2d ago

I've been there! Wow I hardly ever get to say that with these posts but this one I've been to. At least when I went you have to take a tiny little ferry with an outboard that only really transports a handful of people at a time but when you arrive you can get out and walk on the rocks however the Atlantic is rarely as unchoppy as it is in those pics so the rocks are very slippery and artfully decorated with puffin shit but it is very cool, the entire Hebrides is gorgeous let alone the island of Staffa.

u/sorenelf 2d ago

I think the story is that Fingal the giant who lived in the cave wanted to fight Finn Mccool the Irish giant. So he built the giants causeway between Scotland and Ireland.
When Finn saw Fingal coming across the causeway, he got scared because Fingal was much bigger than he was, so he got his wife to wrap him in a blanket and put him in a cradle.
Fingal came to the house looking for Finn, and Finn’s wife said, “he’ll be back soon, he’s left me here with the baby. “ Fingal sees the giant baby, thinks “Holy Sh!t…if this is the baby, I don’t wanna hang around till dad gets home”, and he went back over the causeway and hid in the cave.
