Seongsan Ilchulbong "Sunrise Peak"

SI is a dormant parasitic volcano on the Eastern side of Jeju island. Grass now grows in the crater and beyond the peak is the ocean. It was a fairly easy hike to the top but very windy. David thought running down the grassy hill was the best part. Just to the North is Udo Island which you can take a ferry out to - we didn't and there's also a little cove where the women divers work out of. These women dive for seafood and shellfish w/o any apparatus. A and David saw some one morning at the beach by our hotel but they are all over the island.

This shot is near the top, looking down at the coast. David just happen to stick his head out.
At the top. You can see the crater behind us.
