Jeju Island - Korea

I wasn't waiting for a Korea card, when i saw it i thought it was an official. I was wrong, it was another surprise from Claus and another new unesco site for my collection :D Claus always make me jump of joy!!!!!

This is a card from the Jeju Island with the Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak. This peak "rose from under the sea in a volcanic eruption over 100,000 years ago. Located on the eastern end of Jejudo Island, there is a huge crater at the top of Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak. The crater is about 600m in diameter and 90m high. With the 99 sharp rocks surrounding the crater, it looks like a gigantic crown. While the southeast and north sides are cliffs, the northwest side is a verdant grassy hill that is connected to the Seongsan Village. The ridge provides an ideal spot for walks and for horse riding as well.
The sunrise from the crater is magnificent." - in: http://www.visitkorea.or.kr/enu/SI/SI_EN_3_1_1_1.jsp?cid=264207

"Jeju Volcanic Island and Lava Tubes together comprise three sites that make up 18,846 ha. It includes Geomunoreum, regarded as the finest lava tube system of caves anywhere, with its multicoloured carbonate roofs and floors, and dark-coloured lava walls; the fortress-like Seongsan Ilchulbong tuff cone, rising out of the ocean, a dramatic landscape; and Mount Halla, the highest in Korea, with its waterfalls, multi-shaped rock formations, and lake-filled crater. The site, of outstanding aesthetic beauty, also bears testimony to the history of the planet, its features and processes." - in: www.whc.unesco.org/en/list/1264
