Seongsan IlchulbongLink to page
Seongsan Ilchulbong is a hydrovolcanic cone formed by magma erupting underwater. Seongsan Ilchulbong is the result of layers formed when hot magma erupted during volcanic activity met cold seawater, causing the volcanic ash to absorb a large amount of moisture and become sticky. At the time of its formation, it was an island separated from the mainland of Jeju, but as sand and gravel accumulated around it, a path connecting it to the mainland appeared during low tide. With the construction of a road here in 1940, it is now perfectly connected to the mainland.
