East coast

Yesterday we went underground into a lava tube formed by Mt. Halla, the big volcano which seems to define the whole island. The public section was about one kilometer in length. Unfortunately it was hard to get good pictures, since it was so dark.

On the east coast of the island we climbed Seongsan Ilchulbong, a crater which rose from under the sea in a volcanic eruption many years ago.
