Jeju Island Quiz – Hallasan, Lava Tubes and Haenyeo Divers

Jeju is South Korea's largest island, built by volcanic eruptions in the Korea Strait. Hallasan, a shield volcano with a crater lake, rises to 1,947 meters, the highest point in the country.

Lava tubes such as Manjanggul run beneath the island, and Seongsan Ilchulbong, called Sunrise Peak, rose from the sea. These volcanic landscapes became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007.

The haenyeo, women who dive for seafood without breathing tanks, are a symbol of Jeju, and their culture is also UNESCO listed. Stone dol hareubang statues guard villages, and the island grows famous tangerines and hallabong oranges.
