Hallasan
Hallasan is 1,850 above the sea level and is the highest mountain in South Korea. Except 20 peaks above 1,000m which forms whole Hallasan including Pongbuak(1,950m) which rises high in the center of the island, the remainders of the mountain slopes gently down the sea.

Jejudo was formed during the period from about 1,200 thousand to 25 thousand years ago, and volcanic body of Hallasan was formed during the period from 300 thousand years to 100 thousand years. When volcano explodes molten rock lay around the crater without flowing down off, so the upper part of Hallasan slopes steep.

On top of Hallasan there is a crater called as Paeknokdam and this crater is a pond with water. Hallasan has vertical distribution of plants such as the sub tropical zone plant, temperate Zone plant, polar plant, high mountain plant according to geography, and there are so many peculiar plants that it forms special scenery.
