About this audio guide
This guide to Saebyeol Oreum opens with a trick of elevation and explains how Jeju's shield-volcano geology built this horseshoe-shaped cone, one of roughly three hundred sixty satellite volcanoes scattered across the island. It follows the near-lost farming custom of bangae, seasonal grassland burning, and how it was revived in 1997 as the Jeju Fire Festival that now draws crowds each March. Look at the ridges fanning out from the crater in five directions, hollowed open toward the north.
