Introduction
The columnar joints are situated at seashore east Jungmun Tourism Complex. Black hexagonal stone pillars are piled on top of each other; they unfold like a folding screen as if a god elaborately piled up blocks of stone. The sound of the waves crashing into the rocks is remarkably refreshing. At the Daepo Columnar Joints, visitors can feel the mightiness and exquisiteness of the nature. It was designated as Cultural Property No. 50 by the Jeju Government.Standing before the spectacular pillar-shaped joints, you feel as if you were listening to a poignant story of a stonecutter in bursts of white foam. When the tide is high, they jump up to 20 meters high as if lava were spouting. Thanks to its dramatic scenery, it stands in the spotlight for tourists on a theme tour.
The columnar joint is a pillar-shaped joint that can be commonly seen in basalt-covered areas. The rocks are hexagonal polygons. It is a result of volcanic activities; thick lava flowing from the mouth of a volcano cools abruptly down and contracts. The Daepo Columnar Joint is 30-40 m high and has a width of 1 km. It is the largest of its kind in Korea.
The place is part of Jungmun-dong, Seogwipo-si and called "Jisatgae Rock", named after the old name of Jungmun-dong "Jisatgae".
