| Description |
|
Seongsan Ilchulbaong Peak is a land mass that was created about 100,000 years
ago. It rose from under the sea in a volcanic eruption. It is located on the
eastern end of Jejudo Island and at the top is a huge crater. The crater is
about 600 m in diameter and 90 m high. The area has 99 sharp rocks that peak
around the edge of the crater, making it look like a gigantic crown. The
southeast and north sides are cliffs, and only west side has grass growing on
its ridgeline and is connected to the Seongsan Village below. The ridge is good
for walks and also for horse riding as well. The most famous activity at
Seongsan Ilchulbaong Peak is watching the sunrise from the crater. Also, the
rape flowers nearby blossom in bright yellow colors in the spring, and Seongsan
Ilchulbaong Peak when covered with these brilliant flowers in bloom is a sight
that must be seen.
