Jeju's Peaks and Viewpoints

Jeju Island is home to over 300 "oreums"—parasitic volcanic cones formed by eruptions from the central shield volcano, Mt. Hallasan. This collection highlights the island's most significant elevations, from the expansive Sangumburi Crater with its unique temperate vegetation to Saebyeol-Oreum, famous for its silver grass fields. These peaks offer diverse geological features, including the high-altitude crater lake at Sara-Oreum, the red scoria soil of Bulgeun-Oreum, and the rugged crown-shaped ridges of Wanggwanneung on the slopes of Hallasan.
