      At the moment, no.
      However, there was a huge amount of volcanic activity about 55 million years ago, when lava spilled out across a large area of what is now northern Ireland, and created the Giant’s Causeway. It’s likely that sometime in the future – millions of years in the future – we’ll see volcanoes again
