On the coast of Northern Ireland, a vast plateau of basalt slabs and columns called the Giant’s Causeway stretches into the ocean. The scientific explanation for this is that it’s the result of molten lava contracting and fracturing as it cooled in the wake of a volcanic eruption. But an ancient Irish myth has a different accounting. Iseult Gillespie recounts the Giant's Causeway myth.
在北爱尔兰的海岸上,有一片由玄武岩板块和柱子组成的巨大高原,被称为 巨人之堤,一直延伸到海洋中。科学的解释是,这是火山爆发后熔岩冷却时收缩和断裂的结果。但一个古老的爱尔兰神话却有不同的解释。Iseult Gillespie讲述了巨人之堤的神话。
