Jeju Volcanic Island, South Korea



Jeju Volcanic Island and Lava Tubes together comprise three sites that make up 18,846 ha. It includes Geomunoreum, regarded as the finest lava tube system of caves anywhere, with its multiclored carbonate roofs and florrs, and dark-coloured lava walls; the fortress-like Seongsan Ilchulbong tuff cone, rising out of the ocean, a dramatic landscape; and Mount Halla, the highest in Korea, with its waterfalls, multi-shaped rock formations, and lake-filled crater. The site, of outstanding aesthetic beauty, also bears testimony to the history of the planet, its features and processes. UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2007.
A huge thanks to dear Kim of Taiwan who visited South Korea and sent me this lovely postcard.

South Korea



I have only few postcards from South Korea, but all of them are very beautiful, so I really became interested in that country. I got this postcard in lottery organized by Rob, and it was great surprise to receive this great view. Postcard shows view of Geumsan Temple Mireukjeon. It's really charming. Also, beautiful stamps, including one shaped. Dear Rob, thank you so much! :)
