No two people will agree on what makes immediately, perfect definition or what qualities of the island's greatest natural wonders of the world. But if you hold any sway novelty value, Cheju island-its tough diving women, black, sand, lava tube systems and volcanic cone-can provide the high octane adventures in the great natural beauty, flew from Korea capital Seoul for an hour.
It is to get to a dormant volcano or explore what officially
recognized as the world's longest Lava tunnels. Similarly, Jeju boast of
their wind. This is not boasting, gliding wing will tell you.
Regardless of wind direction, publishing a Web site is the rich and the
dormant mount Hallasan and 368 satellite volcanoes are wonderful sights,
from the air, because black is rolling hills and rugged coast.

Natural wonders of Jeju, is enough to see it in the New7Wonders of nature, global online search, judgement on November 11 to determine the current finalists in seven of the world's most amazing natural locations. Finalists include the great barrier reef and Wu Lulu. However, for me, the Korea's most unique and powerful symbol of the island is the legendary female divers of Jeju, called haenyeo: free, free diving, modern hunting.
5,000 year old black lava Beach below the Seongsan Ilchulbong Tuff Cone, it is mid-afternoon. Haenyeo collection one after another on the coast. Word is out that they may not be diving today because of the vagaries of fashion. But they come out.
I was in my mind constitutes a picture they will not look like a mermaid. They are all past Prime, skill and unique to young women no longer desire to live on the island. Yet decades spent harvesting is not using any harsh conditions in offshore production of respiratory equipment has not run out of these efforts women working.work in shanghai
Today this point illustrates the need for their toughness and strength: wind, basalt rock, swirling mist at the foot of the rough, dark.
Haenyeo, Korea's special status in the patriarchal society. This has been so since when Japanese invader, and intruders are added to the existing risk of Jeju day of deep-sea fishing men and male population decreased substantially. Haenyeo strengthen leadership of the family. They have autonomy and as the primary wage earners, economic independence.
They display the lively confidence as they contact the distinctive, black bystanders gathered on the beach. Youngest haenyeo here today is 58, the oldest 75. We heard they dive's expertise from their mothers and grandmothers, which, in turn, and so on, learned from them as anyone can remember the first handed down.
From the early era, they were breathing in counselling methods, enabling them to extend the time spent underwater. Currents, they can see how know to avoid shark attacks, and it is important, as the importance of a team. Therefore, the haenyeo are dedicated workers, no one was allowed to join the compact group.
Vibrant 70 haenyeo, Song Qing ja have a microphone. She is a natural performer and after a few initial mixed, her companions into line, and started singing. They look it is the rudder of nautical songs, simple address the oldest confirmed haenyeo points. Through her pace and fortitude of the age of 75; obviously she is not easy to surrender lightly.
They were singing at the end of haenyeo Don a mask and plunge into the sea. Rough conditions, because it really is more show diving. They returned 20 minutes later there is a reasonable challenge, but nothing like conch shells, abalone, sea cucumber and Octopus and bald diving competition gathered during great delivery. However, they land shellfish, Octopus, what looks like a sea squirt SAC-like filter-feeders, water spraying from the touching of the two openings.
This brief and exciting encounter caused a very positive response from a group of people. We for our next pursuit--reach Seongsan Ilchulbong Tuff Cone was fired.
I admit rise is rather easy. Our only challenge is the need to have back in an hour. Our time is short in Jeju.
An extremely fast rate, we have seen of columnar jointed lava rock formations in the Jungmun Daepo coast, Seopjikoji and Jeju Folk Village Museum, we enjoy the degustation-style lunch Mint restaurant for contemporary art landscape along the coast. Seopjikoji field and lighthouses offer a wide range of views, along the East Coast, from Mint, especially since it is in Japan architect Ando stone, glass and concrete House construction, the impression created was suspended in sea.
All this plus afternoon haenyeo.
