The Rocks On The Beach Of Chaeseokgang In Byeonsan Area, Mysterious Phenomenoa

People visiting at Chaeseonkgang were usually interested in the Cliff.
Yes, the cliff looked great. 20 - 30 M height of the cliff had various appearance when looking at the cliff from different places.
But the most excellent features were not the cliff but the rocks and stones on the beach, in my opinion.

There was a wide area of the rocks on the bottom of the cliff.
The beach of Chaeseokgang was formed with the various kinds of the rocks.
So if you enjoy the geological aspect in Chaeseokgan area, you need to look down the rocks on the beach.

Interesting thing was the rocks by the beach was quite different from that of the cliff.
Unlike the rocks of cliff, the rocks by the beach seemed to be formed with complicated elements.
If you see the rocks by the beach as below, you can notice that there are so many kinds of the rocks by the beach.

It seemed that those various rocks and the stones were the result of the explosion of the volcano.
When the lava was cooling slowly, the rocks became high density stuff.
I could see the flows of lava on the beach.

When the lave was cooling quickly, the rocks became the stuff having low density.
And we can see the holes in the stone.
It must be a vaporized traces.

The shells were on the rocks. They were attached strongly to the rocks. It seemed that the shells were digging into the rocks. It was so curious how the shells could go into the rocks.

It seems that it is a process of fossilization.

The most interesting thing was that we can see the accumulation and the explosion of the lava in one place.
I don’t know these different geological phenomenon could happen in one place ?

If you interest in the geology, I strongly recommend to drop by Chaeseokgang, you can see the various phenomena in one place.
