Jeju Island

South Korea

Jeju Island is located southwest of the Korean Peninsula and is Korea’s largest island. Volcanic lava tubes make up nearly 10% of the island’s area designated as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site. Seongsan Ilchulbong Tuff Cone, Manjanggul Lava Tube, and Hallasan National Park are must-see tourist attractions.

Background

One of the world’s New 7 Wonders of Nature, Jeju Island is known for its beach resorts and volcanic landscape of craters and cavelike lava tubes. Among them are Hallasan Mountain, featuring hiking trails, a crater lake at the 1,950-meter summit, and nearby Gwaneumsa Temple. The Geomunoreum Lava Tube System includes 7-kilometers-long Manjanggul Cave (created centuries ago). Also stunning are Jeju Stone Park, Daepo Haean Jusangjeolli Cliff, Spirited Garden and Jeju Kimnyoung Maze Park. Jeju is also home to haenyo divers, also known as "Korean mermaids."
