This mountain sits on the southern shoreline of Jeju Island and is 400 meters tall. This mountain is actually a dormant volcano and is classified as a "volcanic dome" or "lava dome" because of its shape.

These living structures provide habitat and protection for about 25% of all aquatic creatures. Thousands of species of fish, lobsters, clams, seahorses, sponges, and sea turtles rely on these structures for their survival and would be homeless without them. These structures are made of millions of tiny organisms called polyps. Some polyps are hard and look like colorful rocks while others are soft and look like colorful plants. Unfortunately, these structures are under threat due to Climate Change.

Legend has it that when a Chinese man known as Hojongdan saw Chagwido Island, he was worried that it might fight back against China. So he cut off all the sources coming to the island and attempted to make his escape. But then, the God of Hallasan Mountain turned into a hawk and sank his ship.

Long ago, as the story goes, two faithful children searched to find 100 herbs that would save their dying mother. The girl’s name was Suwol and her brother was Nokgo. They worked hard to gather the first 99 herbs. The children found the last herb growing on the steep seaside cliff of an oreum. Suwol bravely climbed the cliff but fell to her death just as she picked the herb. Her brother Nokgo found the herb still clutched in her hands so their mother was saved. Nokgo was overcome by grief and his tears over the loss of his sister became the natural springs that flow from the cliff.
Trick Question!!! The answer is this is both! This story is FALSE in that it is a myth or legend. However, this story is TRUE to the people who passed on the story to explain natural phenomenon that occurred at Suwolbong.

This phenomenon is defined by a change in the properties of ocean water that can be harmful to plants and animals. The oceans absorb approximately 30% of all carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and since levels of carbon dioxide are rising exponentially each year, this natural process is becoming a serious problem to our world's oceans. This phenomenon is bleaching c _ _ _ r _ _ _ _ and dissolving the shells of filter feeders like c _ _ _ _, o _ _ _ _ _, and m _ _ _ _ _ _ .

A long time ago, there was a giant known as Grandmother S_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ who lived with her five hundred _ _ _ _ . She had so many mouths to feed that during a year of bad harvest it became difficult to find enough food for them all. One day she gathered her sons together and told them “Go find something to eat and bring it back so we can have something with our porridge.” All five hundred of the brothers went off to find some food.
Grandmother Seolmundae started to boil some porridge for when her sons came back. She lit a fire around a large cauldron and hung it up by the rim. As she walked around, she occasionally stirred the porridge. Once while stirring it, however, she lost her footing, fell into the cauldron, and d _ _ _.
When the five hundred brothers returned, they began to eat the porridge, not realizing what had happened. It tasted better than usual. When the youngest of the five hundred was stirring it, he discovered a b _ _ _. Thinking it strange, he stirred some more. They were more bones, and they were human. Realizing what must have happened, he thought “I can’t bear to be near my impious brothers, who’ve just eaten porridge mixed with the remains of our mother.” Grieving bitterly, he ran away to C _ _ _ _ _ _ Island off the coast of Gosan Village. He cried and cried until he eventually turned into stone.
When the brothers saw this, they too realized what had happened. They huddled in groups here and there lamenting their fate, until they too all turned into stone, becoming what are today known as the 500 G _ _ _ _ _ _ _. So there are, in fact, only four hundred and ninety-nine generals at Y _ _ _ _ _ _. The youngest remains separated far away on Chagwido Island.

Suwolbong is part of a volcanic t _ _ _ ring that was deposited mainly by a unique pyroclastic process, called pyroclastic s _ _ _ _, which is a turbulent and swift flow of a mixture of tephra, volcanic g _ _ _ _, and steam moving along the ground surface like desert sands_ _ _ _. The continuous outcrops of the volcanic deposits along the coastal cliffs of Suwolbong are recognized as one the best exposure of pyroclastic surge deposits in the world. That said, it's considered a textbook or time_ _ _ _ of volcanic eruptions.
