Introduction

The Jusangjeolli columnar joints, on the coast of Seogwipo's Jungmun district in Jeju, are basalt pillars formed when lava met the sea and cooled rapidly, hexagonal to octagonal columns stand in knife-cut ranks plunging into the blue water, a geometric poem of nature. Cliff-side paths and decks look down on waves smashing the pillars; nearby are the Taejongdae legend and seafront cafes. It is Jeju's most geologically stunning coast and part of a UNESCO natural heritage. Cliff-side decks look down on waves smashing the pillars, a raw show of volcanic force.
