jeju island, south korea

Jeju Island is the largest island in South Korea, located in Jeju Province (Jeju Special Self-Governing Province). The island covers an area of 1,833.2 km² (707.8 sq mi), which is about 1.83 percent of South Korea’s total area. In 2020, the resident population was about 670,000, the largest among South Korea’s islands. The island lies in the Korea Strait, south of the Korean Peninsula and South Jeolla Province. Jeju is the only self-governing province in South Korea, meaning it is administered by local residents rather than politicians from the mainland. The northern tip of Jeju Island is Kimnyeong Beach, the southern end is Songak Mountain, the western end is Suwolbong, and the eastern end is Seongsan Ilchulbong. Located between the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea, and the Sea of Japan, Jeju holds an important economic, political, and military position for South Korea. The island was formed by the eruption of an underwater volcano approximately 2 million years ago. It contains a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site, the Jeju Volcanic Island and Lava Tubes. Jeju has a temperate climate, and even in winter temperatures rarely fall below 0 °C (32 °F). Jeju is a popular vacation destination, and a significant portion of its economy relies on tourism and activity related to its civil and naval base.
