Jeju Volcanic Island and Lava Tubes, Volcanic island and cave network in Jeju Province, South Korea.

The island contains numerous lava tubes extending for kilometers beneath the surface, forming natural underground corridors with limestone formations and mineral deposits.

Volcanic activity shaped this landform over two million years, creating the central shield volcano Hallasan that reaches 1,947 meters above sea level.

The geological formations influence local traditions, with inhabitants incorporating natural elements into regional celebrations and daily practices throughout the seasons.

Visitors can access the protected caves through designated entrance points, with guided tours available in multiple languages from the main information center.

The Manjanggul Cave section extends for 7.4 kilometers, containing rare helictites and dark zones where specialized cave fauna develops.
