​It’s time for the next installment of our get-to-know-Jeju series.

The South Korean island of Jeju is located within the Korea Strait. The island is known for its beach resorts and volcanic landscape of craters and cavelike lava tubes. Hallasan Mountain, a dormant volcano, features hiking trails and a crater lake at the 1,950m summit. The Geomunoreum Lava TubeSystem includes 7km-long Manjanggul Cave, created centuries ago when Hallasan was still active.
