## Resource

New research is rewriting Northern Ireland’s volcanic history — the Giant’s Causeway didn’t take 13 million years to form, but just 5.5 million. Scientists now link eruptions across the North Atlantic, from Scotland’s Staffa to Greenland, revealing a faster, more connected geological story. This breakthrough reshapes how we see ancient lava flows and their global impact, offering a sharper picture of Earth’s powerful, rapid past.
