Geomunoreum Lava Tube System, Volcanic formation on Jeju Island, South Korea.

The Geomunoreum Lava Tube System extends for 13 kilometers, featuring multiple interconnected tunnels that reach from the volcano summit to the coastline.

The volcanic network formed between 100,000 and 300,000 years ago through multiple eruptions of basaltic lava flowing from the 456-meter-tall Geomunoreum volcano.

The natural formations within the tubes hold scientific importance for understanding volcanic processes and contribute to regional geological research initiatives.

Visitors can access eight different lava tubes including Mangjanggul and Bengdwigul through designated paths with informational signs and guided tour options.

The system contains natural monuments such as Dangcheomuldonggul Lava Tube, where mineral formations and volcanic structures remain in their original condition.
