unesco in south korea





 
The Jeju Volcanic Island and Lava Tubes is a World Heritage Site in South Korea.
Jejudo is a volcanic island, 130 kilometers from the southern coast of Korea.
The largest island and smallest province in Korea.
A central feature of Jeju is Hallasan, the tallest mountain in South Korea and a dormant volcano, which rises 1,950 meters above sea level. 360 satellite volcanoes are part of the main volcano.  The last recorded volcanic activity was recorded approximately 800 years ago. The island is covered in volcanic rock and volcanic soil produced by Hallasan. Baengnokdam, the crater and lake in it are located at the peak of Hallasan, was formed over 25,000 years ago.
