The Quiraing, Trotternish Ridge, on the Isle of Skye, looking east toward the North Atlantic Ocean. The Quiraing is an 18-mile long landslide that occurred roughly 6 million years ago when the heavy overburden of lava rock crushed the soft underlying sandstone beneath and fell toward the sea. Parts of the Quiraing are still moving slowly toward the ocean.
