A stratigraphy lesson at the cliffs of Mohair
The cliffs of Mohair offer an amazing view over the coastline of western Ireland and give a great lookout over the Atlantic ocean. If you walk the northern trail, you come across some impeccable stratification, framed by the most intense green from the grass and the stormy blue of the ocean below, as well as some classical coastal erosion examples.
