This is the "Dragon Rock" made of volcanic rock --like everything on the island. We took a good hike up the mountainside to see it, also allowing us to get up close to another treasure of Jeju-- their horses. The juxtaposition of the ocean and the mountains is still breathtaking. At this point, we also saw the amazing women divers. These beyond believable women, not so young, don wet suit pants, grab hold of a buoy, a basin shaped net, aspear, and a knife, and swim out to sea to catch abalone. They can be out in the water for eight hours a day before coming in and setting up mini-restaurants and wholesale booths with their bounty. Watching them surface and dive again was truly mesmerizing.
