Seongsan Ilchulbong

About

About
Seongsan Ilchulbong is 180m above sea level, unlike other oreums on Jeju Island. It is a rare volcanic crater that erupted underwater about 5,000 years ago. When the hot magma erupted during the volcanic activity met the cold seawater, the volcanic ash absorbed a lot of moisture and became sticky, and this accumulated in layers to form Seongsan Ilchulbong. Seongsan Ilchulbong Natural Reserve is located on the eastern end of Jeju Island and includes the entire Ilchulbong and the sea area within 1km. The sunrise at Seongsan Ilchulbong is considered the most beautiful sunrise in Korea and is one of the 10 Scenic Views of Yeongju. Seongsan Ilchulbong is divided into free and paid sections. The free section is a course that is often used by the elderly or people with disabilities, and it is a convenient course to walk slowly and see because there are no uphill slopes. On June 27, 2007, at the 31st World Heritage Committee, three natural monuments, Hallasan Natural Reserve, Seongsan Ilchulbong Natural Reserve, and Geomunoreum Lava Tube System, were registered as World Natural Heritage sites under the name of 'Jeju Volcanic Island and Lava Tubes'.
