Seongsan Ilchulbong | Jeju Island

Seongsan Ilchulbong, aka Seongsan Sunrise Peak or Seongsan Ilchulbong Tuff Cone, is a remarkable volcanic formation located on Jeju Island in South Korea. It is one of the most popular tourist destinations on the island and has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

In Jeju Island, there is a community of women, some aged in their 80s, which goes diving 10m under the sea to gather shellfish, such as abalone or sea urchins for a living without the help of oxygen masks. With knowledge of the sea and marine life, the Jeju haenyeo (female divers) harvest for up to seven hours a day, 90 days of the year holding their breath for just one minute for every dive and making a unique verbal sound when resurfacing.

The culture of Jeju haenyeo has also contributed to the advancement of women’s status in the community and promoted environmental sustainability with its eco-friendly methods and community involvement in management of fishing practices.

Overall, I had a very relaxing experience here eating fresh abalone that Haenyeo women have caught. It's a nice stop for fresh air if you're here in Jeju Island.
