Protruding off the middle of Daejeong-eup Moseulpo’s plains, the summit can be reached on the road starting from the 1st division army boot camp to Daejeong High School.
From anywhere on the contour line, the height to the summit as well as the length of the uphill slope is the same to form a symmetrical shape, except the upper part of the western side, which is as traditional shape as a conical crater can get. It is very similar to Icelandic volcanos, but doesn’t have the outcrop that distinguishes layers of lava flow that makes it identifiable as an Icelandic volcano.
On the peak of this volcanic cone is a beacon fire station of Joseon Dynasty, connected with Songaksan Beacon Fire Station to the southeast and Dangsan Beacon Fire Station to the northwest. An Icelandic volcano is defined by the fact that it is a monogenic volcano. With a central eruption, it is a rather small shield volcano.
※The Origin of the Volcanic Cone’s Name: It was named after its location in Moseulgae (Moseulpo), and the word “Moseul” is a derivation of a Jeju dialect “Mosal”, which means sand. Its name in Chinese characters is Moseulbong, given with respect to its phonetics.
