view tours in the beginning when the news of the "discovery" of an amazing natural phenomenon broke on an unsuspecting world in 1693 it was by the presentation of a paper to the royal society from sir richard bulkeley, a fellow of trinity college, dublin. the "discoverer" had, in fact, been the then bishop of derry a year earlier. the news caused quite a stir in 'the polite society' of the time and in 1697 a draughtsman was sent to make drawings of the natural curiosity on the north east tip of the island of ireland. what seems remarkable to us now, in the 21st century, is that there was much argument as to whether the causeway had been created by men with picks and chisels, by nature, or by the efforts of a giant. for in the 17th century nothing like it had been seen before. as an artist, miss susanna drury spent, in 1740, quite some period of months on site. depicting the magnificence that she found, ensured that the causeway became noted on the grand tour. and it was not until 1771 that a frenchman, demarest, announced the origin of the causeway to be the result of volcanic action. geology sixty million years ago antrim was subject to intense volcanic activity, when highly fluid molten rock was forced up through fissures in the chalk bed to form an extensive lava plateau. the dramatic cliff like edge of the plateau forms the causeway coastline. the larger fissures, through which the lava flowed, can be clearly seen as bands of dark rock which cut down the cliff faces and jut out to sea. there were three periods of volcanic activity which resulted in the flows, known as the lower, middle and upper basalts. it is the middle basalts rocks which forms the columns of the giants causeway. the rapidly cooling lava contracted and variations in the cooling rate resulted in the world famous columnar structure. the columns are mainly hexagonal though there are some with up to eight sides. weathering of the top of of the lower basalts formed the inter basaltic bed - the band of reddish rock which is a feature of the area. the same action of the weather created circular formations round a nugget of basalt which are known locally as "giants eyes". some other formations with popular names are the chimney stacks, the harp, the organ and the camel's hump. local wildlife perhaps less well known is the fact that the area is a haven for sea birds such as fulmar, petrel, cormorant, shag, redshank guillemot and razorbill. rock pippits and wagtails explore the shoreline and eider duck are found in sheltered water. the national trust has made an inventory of rare and interesting plants which have survived the feet of many thousands of visitors. they include sea spleenwort, hare's foot trefoil, vernal squill, sea fescue and frog orchid making this an exciting place for botanists, with also, in summer, great stretches of sea campion. the giants causeway has something to offer almost every interest, be i
