Jusangjeolli Cliffs, Jeju-do, South Korea

If you follow the farm road 600 m to the southwest from Depo-dong, at the end of the pine tree forest is a cliff. At the base of this cliff is the Jisatgae Coast along with the imposing stone pillars.

The Jusangjeolli are stone pillars piled up along the coast and is a designated cultural monument of Jejudo Island. The Jusangjeolli was formed when the lava from Mt. Hallasan erupted into the sea of Jungmun.

They are rock pillars shaped like cubes or hexagons of various sizes and almost seem as if stonemasons had carved them out. As if carved by stonemasons, the pillars are evidence of nature’s awesome power. The administration of the district named them 'Jisatgae Rocks' from their old name 'Jisatgae'.

Its 20 m cliff makes it a popular spot for high tide, sea angling. The waves of the high tides crashing into the side of the cliff provide a breathtaking view of the ocean surrounding the pillars.

Most commonly expressed as vertical columnar jointing, the formations are created via sudden cooling of lava that shrinks in mass. The sight of waves crashing against the columns is both serene and beautiful.
