Chaeseokgang Cliff (Jeonbuk West Coast National Geopark)

This sedimentary rock, the Gyeokpo-ri Formation, was deposited over approximately 70 million years from the Cretaceous Period of the Mesozoic Era while being eroded by seawater. It consists of conglomerate, alternating layers of conglomerate and sandstone, alternating layers of sandstone and mudstone, shale, and volcanic ash. This sedimentary environment suggests that this area was once a deep lake, and volcanic ejecta was deposited on the lake bottom. In addition, faults, folds, intrusive structures, and wave-cut platforms can be easily observed on this cliff, making it excellent for learning about topography and geology. Sea cliffs, flat wave-cut platforms, and sea caves formed by wave erosion are also developed. At the base of Chaeseokgang Cliff, potholes—the joint work of the earth's crust and waves—have developed, and tidal pools formed by seawater trapped during high tide can be found in various places.

◎ Travel information to encounter the charm of Hallyu - Dramas
At the beginning of the drama, Ban Ji-eum, burdened with memories of a past life that surge like waves, slowly walks along a massive cliff and a sea cave. The sedimentary rock, accumulated over approximately 70 million years, from the Mesozoic Era, specifically the Cretaceous period, seems to reflect the long years she has endured.
