Gwangseokdae (Gyubong Columnar Joints) is one of the three major columnar joint cliffs representing Mudeungsan, along with Seoseokdae and Ipseokdae, and is located at an altitude of about 850m. The Gyubong columnar joint cliff, along with the Jigong talus to the northwest, is designated as a scenic cultural heritage. The columnar joints lined around Gyubongam, a Buddhist practice site, are about 30 to 40m high and up to about 7m wide. This is a scale unprecedented in the world, and the constituent rock is a volcanic rock called 'Mudeungsan tuff'.
