Why Ireland?
Ireland is often called the "Emerald Isle"
Due to its lush green landscapes and rolling hills, a result of
its rainy climate. But there are also large areas of rugged, rocky
landscape, too. About 15,000 years ago, Ireland was completely
covered by thick glaciers. The movement of these giant sheets of
ice stripped the soil, leaving huge tracts of flat, limestone
ground.
