Inis Mór, Irish island in Galway Bay, Ireland.
The largest of the Aran Islands extends for 12 kilometers in length and reaches an elevation of 123 meters above sea level.
During the Cromwellian conquest in 1653, the island functioned as a detention center for Roman Catholic priests until their release in 1662.
The residents of Inishmore maintain Irish Gaelic as their primary language, with many inhabitants speaking both Irish and English in daily communications.
Visitors can access the island through regular ferry services from Rossaveal and Doolin ports, with journeys lasting approximately 40 minutes across Galway Bay.
The limestone terrain features distinct patterns of cracks called grikes, forming isolated rock formations that developed 330 million years ago in a tropical sea.
