A UNESCO World Natural Heritage tuff cone that erupted from the sea approximately 100,000 years ago, Seongsan Ilchulbong — literally 'Sunrise Peak' — rises 182 metres from the eastern tip of Jeju Island. Its crater rim, lined with 99 rock pinnacles, frames a broad green bowl at the summit. The climb takes roughly 30 minutes and rewards with wide coastal views that are best in the orange light of early morning.
