Majestic Cliffs of Moher: A Geological Wonder
by Mohamed Nedal, Institute of Astronomy with National Astronomical Observatory, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Sofia, Bulgaria
Ireland's west coast is home to the majestic Cliffs of Moher, which reveal an impressive array of geological features. These cliffs, composed of siltstone, sandstone, and layers of shale that were formed over 300 million years ago, have been shaped by the relentless forces of erosion, giving them their remarkable appearance nowadays. As a scientist, it was incredibly inspiring to capture the beauty of these geological marvels on a rainy day.
