Poll na bPéist

Wormhole

Poll na bPéist ( Irish [ ˈpaʊl̪.nəˌbʲeːʃtʲ ], English The Wormhole or The Serpent's Lair for Hole of Worms or Snake Cave ) is the name of a rectangular, natural water basin with an edge length of approx. 10 by 25 meters within a stone formation on the coast of Inis Mór ( Inishmore ), the largest of the Aran Islands . It is connected to the water of the Atlantic through an underground channel. It was created by the erosion of deeper layers of limestone along straight breaking edges.

2014 was held on Poll na bPéist under Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series competition in cliff diving instead.
