Finding a geologic structure

Parkinsonsd · Mar 5, 2008

I'm trying to find the place where the geologic structure has produced kind of like hexagon pillars and I don't know how to describe it very well, however, it was in the first Star trek movie when they're going on to the "VGer" planet." Any ideas?

The Devil's Causeway? See the cover of Led Zeppelin's Houses of the Holy album, back in the great days of rock!

It's on the coast of Ireland, I believe.
