Jeju Island: Jungmun Daepo Coast Jusangjeolli Cliff 中文大浦海岸柱状节理带

The name of this cliff is so long right? 
Anyway, it is abbreviated as Jusangjeolli (Not Angelina Jolie) Cliff. 


Formation of Jusangjeolli Cliff
The Jusangjeolli was formed when the lava from Mt. Hallasan(the highest mountain in Jeju-do as well as in South Korea) erupted and flowed into the sea of Jungmun. The lava cool down in a fast speed when they flowed into the sea and it shrink thus forming the pillar shaped cliff.
