Hallasan

Hallasan means a mountain high enough to pull in the Milky Way. Since ancient times, it has been called Yeongjusan (瀛州山) because it is said that immortals live here, and it has been considered one of Korea's three sacred mountains, along with Geumgangsan (金剛山) and Jirisan (智異山). In addition, it is a treasure trove of animals and plants of great academic value due to its diverse vegetation distribution, and was designated and protected as a natural monument in October 1966. Meanwhile, Hallasan Mountain, located in the center of Jeju Island, a young volcanic island from the 4th period of the Cenozoic Era, was active in volcanic eruptions until 25,000 years ago, and parasitic volcanoes, oreums, are distributed around Hallasan Mountain, creating a unique landscape. Hallasan Mountain's secret landscapes include the snow-covered Baeknokdam, the majesty of Crown Neung, waterfalls hidden deep in the valley, and Yeongsilgiam Rock, where the legends of Grandmother Seolmundae and the Five Baek Generals reside, and were designated as a national park in March 1970. Hallasan Mountain shows a vertical distribution of plants from temperate to cold climate zones due to geographical factors and the influence of altitude as it rises in the North Pacific Ocean, and can be said to be a treasure trove of an ecosystem inhabited by various species of plants and animals.
