Why this matters

The Cliffs at Teelin are composed primarily of basalt, formed during the Paleogene period through volcanic activity associated with the opening of the North Atlantic. They are notable for their dramatic sea cliffs and columnar jointing, typical of ancient lava flows in the region.
