You arrive with the sea in your ear and wind pushing the grasses along the crater rim — Seongsan Ilchulbong (Sunrise Peak) rises like an ancient watchman at Jeju’s eastern lip. The trail climbs over tuff and basalt, offering a close-up of layered volcanic rock and wide ocean views where the water dares you to look farther than the shore.
