There are also amazing places on the planet. From time to time you see these photos and immediately imagine a small house there, and their measured and quiet life of this beauty
Seongsan Ilchulbong, also known as "Peak Sunrise» (Sunrise Peak) is a tuff crater formed gidrovulkanicheskimi eruptions that took place on the sea floor about 4 thousand years ago.
This tuff crater, which resembles a giant ancient castle, located on the east coast of the island of Cheju (Jeju). Its height is 182 meters, and inside it is a bowl-shaped crater, where you can meet a variety of education.
These features are in the crater of an enormous geological value, as their study may provide useful information on the processes of eruption and deposition of minerals held in gidromagmaticheskih volcanoes around the world, as well as the history of volcanic activity of the Seongsan Ilchulbonga. The crater of the volcano is rich in lush vegetation, among which grow six rare plant species.
The craters of extinct volcanoes everywhere. The biggest, of course - it's Halla (Hallasan) (1,950 m, the highest point in Korea)
For tourists here even paved path: with benches for relaxing, with shops and even toilets. (!) But do not think that it is up to the top so smooth - on the last meters of the ascent path turns into a ladder with a slope of 40-50 degrees!
After two hours of climbing to the top, you can rest and admire the stunning views from a bird's eye:
But it is not only for lovers of Volcanology so lucky with the island, something for everyone here can find not only them. For example, botanists, unequivocally, - here, too. The flora in the local botanical gardens, a striking diversity.
