Northern Ireland: Coins are destroying the natural wonder "The Giant"

Northern Ireland's natural wonder, the Giant, is being destroyed by a seemingly harmless habit of people placing coins in cracks between rocks for good luck.

The Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland is made up of approximately 40,000 basalt columns, the result of a basalt lava eruption 60 million years ago. This unique and mysterious beauty has made it a must-see destination, known as Tourists from all over the world come to admire , connected to natural and cultural history.

However, in recent decades, visitors have pushed thousands of coins into the cracks in the rock and these coins quickly corroded and expanded, causing the basalt to peel off and form rust-colored streaks./.
