Introduction

Sangumburi Crater is Natural Monument No. 263. Unlike the 360 parasitic volcanoes on the island, this one exploded quickly, but did not spew much lava nor did it form much of a surrounding cone. This phenomenon is called maru in Korean, and Sangumburi is the only one of its kind in the country. It's inner area covers 300,000 square meters and its bottom circumference is 756 meters while the length around the crater when measured outside is 2,070 meters. Rare species of plants and animals live inside the crater.?Diverse trees such as cedar trees, Korean fir trees and eulalia inhabit the crater. In autumn, the crater is covered with eulalia, attracting many visitors. ?
