Introduction: Discover the Beauty of Jeju Island

Introduction

Jeju Island

I have decided to dedicate my blog to the breath taking landscape that is Jeju Island in South Korea... 
Hallasan Mountain

I chose Jeju Island because I am visiting there this summer. I am going abroad (Grenada sounds amazing too) with Professor Tony Robinson in the Political Science department and Jeju is the one of the last places we are going to visit on our trip. 


The picture above is of the beautiful Hallasan Mountain. It is one of the landforms on the Jeju that I want to visit as a geographer. Not only is it the tallest mountain in South Korea, but it is also volcanic and has been dormant for many years now. 


Along with Hallasan, there are many other forms and processes on the Island that I want to discover and learn more about. It will allow me to visit with a completely new set of eyes...exciting!
