99. Fingal’s Cave, Scotland
Found in Scotland’s Staffa Island within the Inner Hebrides, Fingal’s Cave consists of hexagonal-shaped jointed basalt columns. These unique columns serve as a natural walkway for visiting explorers. The gradual cooling and solidification of lava on the surfaces caused fracturing and contractions which led to the unusual shape of the walls. The cave’s size, its arched roof, and the ever-present echo of the waves create a truly cathedral-like atmosphere within this cave that overlooks the sea.
You need to check out the “Cuevas de Drach” in Mallorca, Spain!!!! Beautiful natural caves.
The name sounds familiar. Perhaps I wrote about it elsewhere. Perhaps someone else from Spain mentioned it? Doe it get a lot of press?
At any rate, thanks for reading my stuff and thanks for the comment!
