Maybe it has something to do with those hexagonal stones... i fail to see how in this one case it could be the result of volcanic activity
I believe I heard that same statement about any coast, that in fact no coastline can be measured precisely because one never knows which details of coastline is relevant. So mathematically, each coastline is infinitely long.

Doesn't anybody live near the northern end of Ireland that want's a German visitor.
