Jusangjeolli, Columnar jointing cliff in Jungmun, South Korea.

The Jusangjeolli formation consists of dark red hexagonal stone pillars rising 20 meters above the ocean along the southern coast of Jeju Island.

The volcanic rocks emerged when lava from Hallasan Mountain flowed into the sea near Jungmun, creating geometric patterns through rapid cooling processes.

Local fishermen gather at the cliff during specific seasons to catch various fish species, continuing traditions passed through generations on Jeju Island.

Visitors can observe the rock formations from designated wooden platforms along the coastline, with optimal viewing conditions during morning and late afternoon hours.

The cliff displays over 40,000 individual hexagonal columns of varying sizes, forming a natural stone wall pattern against the ocean waters.
