A massive volcanic eruption sixty million years ago blasted forth a mass of molten basalt, which consolidated and contracted as it cooled, forming the fractures that can still be seen today. This World Heritage Site is home to an estimated 37,000 polygon columns, which are so geometrically perfect that local mythology claims they were built by a giant. It's a strong contender for one of the world's strangest locations. If you're looking for some natural wonders further away, check out our list of the finest volcanoes on the planet.

The Giant's Causeway is a 40,000-square-foot area of interlocking basalt columns formed by an old volcanic fissure eruption. It's about three miles (5 kilometers) northeast of Bushmills in County Antrim on Northern Ireland's north coast.
