Columnar Basalt Landscape at Jungmun Daepo on the island of Jeju, South Korea

The Giant’s Causeway and its coastal environs were bequeathed to the National Trust (a British organization that promotes the preservation of natural and architectural wonders) in 1961. Subsequently, the site was extended to some 200 acres (80 hectares); it was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1986. (www.britannica.com/place/Giants-Causeway)

This is the traditional Country of the Dja Dja Wurrung Peoples.

It is protected not only for its beauty but also because its cliffs, seashores, marshes, and grasslands are home to some 50 species of birds, as well as to more than 200 species of plants. Humans settled around the Giant’s Causeway in the 19th century, but the site is now uninhabited. It does, however, attract some 300,000 tourists annually. (www.britannica.com/place/Giants-Causeway)
