Conquering Mountains

On the North Eastern side of Jeju Island is another famous island with a big crater called Ilchulbong. Before climbing the mountain, we first went to U-do, which means Bull Island. Reason being, the island looks like a bull lying down.

I wish I could post more pictures of these two mountains. We took the ferry across the channel and rode on little mopeds around the whole island.

This looks just like Mufasa. Had to be included. What a great lion.
These white sand/rocks actually *grow* on this island. More and more get created. I'm not exactly sure how. They are very different to sand and don't stick to skin.
