Jeju, South Korea - This is one of the most famous caves in the world - Manjanggul Cave. Manjanggul Cave is one of the finest lava tunnels in the world, and is a designated natural monument. A lava tunnel is formed when the lava that was deep in the ground spouts from the peak and flows to the surface.
Manjanggul Cave has a variety of interesting structures inside including 70m lava stalagmites and the lava tube tunnels. The inside of the tunnel sustains at a temperature of 11~21℃, creating a comfortable atmosphere.
Only 1km of the 13,422m Manjanggul Cave is open to the tourists.
