Aurora borealis from Sherkin Island
Space stuff
More specifically: geology students swarming a fold in Pembrokeshire.
The geology in the Welsh seaport town Milford Haven pictured here is nearly identical to that of Cork – most of it being Old Red Sandstone. Though the rocks in South West Wales are older in some places. The subsequent deformation that created the fold here, being swarmed by geology students, is also the same mountain building events that folded rocks in Cork.

I’m originally from Denmark, but now living in Cork, Ireland and working with visual science communication. You may have found this post because you were curious about this page or wanted to know more about the topic at hand – in any case: welcome.
There are more writings, visuals and videos around here about geology, the weather, our planet, Ireland, Denmark and other things that interest me.
