Hibernian Uplands


  • Type: Physiographic Province

Hibernian Massif

Hibernian Uplands are a major physical landscape of Ireland, made up mainly of very old rocks formed during the Caledonian and Hercynian mountain-building events. They are located mainly along the western, southern, and south-eastern parts of Ireland and include mountain ranges such as the Wicklow Mountains, MacGillycuddy's Reeks, and the mountains of Donegal and Connemara. Over time, these uplands were heavily eroded, particularly by glaciers during the last Ice Age, creating features such as U-shaped valleys, corries, lakes, and rugged mountainous terrain. - AsNotedIn
