Uncover: Seongsan Ilchulbong, Jeju Island

Thousands of years ago, an island just off of South Korea was created entirely from volcanic eruptions – Jeju. One of the central features of Jeju Island is Hallasan, now known as the tallest mountain in South Korea, and a dormant volcano, which sits at 1950m above sea level. That's not all this quaint island has to offer though, as are many natural wonders to behold. Located on the eastern end of Jeju Island, about an hour and a half drive from Jeju city, sits Seongsan Ilchulbong; otherwise known as Sunrise or Sunset Peak. Now considered to be one of the new 7 wonders of nature, Sunset Peak, as we will refer to it, was also declared a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site with it's incredible 600m diameter crater at its highest point. 284-12, Ilchul-ro, Seongsan-eup, Seogwipo-si, Jeju-do Hours: 7:30am-7pm Price: 2,000/adult; 1,000/children #createwithtrip
