Columnar jointing happens when a thick lava flow cools slowly and contracts into hexagonal columns.
Checked · Researched, not yet visited · times from official timetables and our estimates · Takumi Yamada
Hexagonal columns of basalt thirty to forty metres high, where lava met the sea and cracked as it cooled. A kilometre of them, with waves breaking against the tops. ₩2,000; listed free at 65 with ID (a foreign passport may not count).
- Short enough to be certain of: 1 hr 30 min door to door, so even a tender day works.
- 1 hr 30 min door to door needs a 3.5-hour call: a 2–3 hour stop cannot hold it. Pick something closer instead.
- No single published ride covers this one. Budget for a taxi both ways, or fold it into a guided day.
Jusangjeolli cliffs and your ship
Both pins on one map, so the distance is a fact rather than a feeling.
Where the 1 hr 30 min goes
The hour before all-aboard is not in this bar; it is already set aside. The minutes are our estimates from timetables and maps, not timed on the ground.
If your ship is late, cut the 1 hr 10 min in the middle. Never cut the hour at the end.
Routes that already include it
Finished days timed from official timetables and our estimates, with this stop in them.
What to put beside it
Each of these still lands you back aboard with the hour to spare.
