JEJU's Geography
Geography
of JEJU Island
Jeju
Island is a volcanic island, dominated by Halla-san (Halla Mountain): a volcano 1,950
metres (6,400 ft) high and the highest mountain in South Korea. The island
measures approximately 73 kilometres (45 mi) across, east to west, and 41
kilometres (25 mi) from north to south.
The
island was created entirely from
volcanic eruptions approximately 2 million years ago, during the time period
extending from the Tertiary to the beginning of the
Quaternary period, and consists chiefly of
basalt and lava. The eruptions took place in the Cenozoic era. It has a
humid subtropical climate, warmer than that of the rest of
Korea, with four distinct weather seasons. Winters are cool and dry while
summers are hot, humid, and sometimes rainy.
There is
a crater lake which is the only crater lake in South Korea.
An area
covering about 12% (224 square kilometres or 86 square miles) of Jeju is known
as Gotjawal
Forest. This
area remained uncultivated until the 21st century, as its base of
ʻAʻā
lava made it difficult to develop for
agriculture. Because this forest remained pristine for so long, it has a unique
ecology. The forest is the main source of groundwater and thus the main water source for
the half million people of the island, because rainwater penetrates directly
into the aquifer through the cracks of the ʻAʻā lava under the forest. Gotjawal forest is considered an internationally
important wetland
under the Ramsar
Convention by some researchers because it is the habitat of unique
species of plants and is the main source of water for the residents, although to
date it has not been declared a Ramsar site.
