Seoubong Peak

This guide to Seoubong Peak in Jeju's Hamdeok village opens with the volcanic eruption that built the coastal cone, and the name early islanders gave its buffalo-like silhouette. It follows the haenyeo divers who still work the cove below, including diver Jung Mi-ran on what the sea means to her, and the roughly twenty tunnels Japanese soldiers dug into the cliffs during the Pacific War to hide suicide boats. You'll hear how the site earned its heritage listing in 2006. Walk the shoreline promenade for the widest view of the cone.
