Manjanggul Lava Cave: A True Natural Wonder




















Majannggul Lava Cave was the reason why I decided to go on a holiday to South Korea and it did not disappoint!

Located in Jeju Island, this awe inspiring  lave tube is 7 km long but only 1 km can be accessed by the public.  The tube was created by lava streams running through it.  The cave is lighted in way that makes the walk through the cave a more awesome experience.

There was bit of controversy on how it got voted as one of new 7 wonders of the world alongside the Underground River of the Philippines.  As far as I am concerned, it deserves to be on the list!  It is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
