📖History & Curiosities
The highest volcano on the Korean peninsula, 2,744 metres on the Chinese border, with Heaven Lake inside its crater: five kilometres of dark blue water, frozen half the year, the deepest caldera lake on earth. It is the founding mountain of Korean identity on both sides of the frontier, the mythical birthplace of the people. Above two thousand metres the black pumice slopes carry no trees at all.
