There are three peaks centered on the northeast main peak at the mountain top, and within the summit is a slightly opened oval-shaped crater to the east and west. The overall figure of the cone forms a horseshoe-shaped crater that is open thinly to the east. All slopes of the volcanic cone are covered in grass, presenting the visage of a beautiful and classic Jeju volcanic cone.
