Seongsan Ilchulbong Tuff Cone

Wouldn't the expression Gungye Ilhak be appropriate for Ilchulbong Peak, which has the most prominent shape and style among the numerous oreums on Jeju Island? Then, what is the difference between Ilchulbong Peak and other oreums, and why did the difference occur? To solve this question, let's go on a time trip to the Icelandic sea in 1963.

 

In 1963, seawater bubbled and boiled, and lava erupted at one of Iceland's southern beaches, creating a volcanic island. As the island grew close to the surface, the lava eruptions stopped, and black ash, water droplets, and white water vapor mixed with seawater soared toward the sky like a huge fountain.

 

The island that was created by the eruption that lasted for months was the Thirty Volcano. The eruption of a volcano in the ocean was unexpected for those who thought of red lava flowing out of a high volcano's crater and hot ash rising like a mushroom cloud. The first natural phenomenon that those who encountered a completely different pattern of volcanic eruptions recognized was the Mercury Volcano Eruption. Sunrise Peak has the secret of its birth like Seotshi Volcano.
