Gama Oreum Volcanic Cone
Located behind Surungi Village in Hangyeong-myeon, Jeju, Gama Oreum Volcanic Cone is an oreum characterized by its unique shape, resembling an overturned cauldron. Due to its strategic geographical advantage, offering panoramic views of Sanbangsan, Moseulpo, Altteureu Airfield, and the Gosan Coast, the site was once fortified by the Japanese military as a frontline defense against potential U.S. landings. Today, the approximately 2km-long underground tunnel network, originally built as a military base, has been repurposed into a unique museum.
