Volcanic Spelunking

The next day we parked our stuff in Seogwipo and headed out for the Mungjang (?) Lava Tubes--a Natural World Heritage site. Pretty cool stuff. It was a long bus ride and a long walk there but so beautiful and soo worth it!

Let's go in!

Jeremy reading one of the boards inside the cave about how they were formed.

The lava tube floor was really uneven but obviously flattened out a bit for tourists. Comically, a few high-maintenance Korean women went through the cave in stilettos. lol.

Some of the interesting wall formations.

This was big part of the tube at the end where a hole in the ceiling created a lava pillar. These tubes are special because they were formed with two tubes--one on top of the other, a unique formation only found here.

After we emerged from the abyss, we sat at the bus stop for a good half hour or so on a deserted highway.

What to do, what to do...
