Rising 2,750 meters above sea level, it has wonderful features.

In a distant view its ridge looks long and even. But when you look up at the mountain near the Paektu Bridge, it looks steep and high with many sublime peaks and rocks.

On the mountain ridge, you can see the majestic mountainscape, fantastic rocks of myriad-shaped peaks, a deep crater surrounded by steep cliffs and its spectacular lake.

The crater consists of small basins and cliffs, reminding one of magnolia, the national flower of Korea.

Lake Chon looks like human heart. Water surface rises some 1.6 meters up and down in a year.

The lakebed is of the shape of dish. The lake contains water of over 1.9 billion cube meters.

It slopes 10-50 degrees down to the 350-meter-deep centre of the lakebed.

The mud-layer centre of the lakebed slopes 5-10 minutes on the average, about 15 degrees at maximum.
