Manjanggul
Lava stalactites and lava stalagmites, lava columns, lava flowstone, lava rafts, lava shelves, Among them, a lava column of 7.6 metres (25') is the largest known in the world.
There are three entrances to the cave, although tourists are able to enter through just one of them (No. 2, facing southwards) and able to go up to 1 km (0.62 mi) into it.
Entrance No. 3 contains the most favorable habitats for cave life. Between entrances 1 and 2, there is a lower level main tube where most of creatures living in the cave can be found. In the Geomunoreum Lava Tube System, the Manjanggul Lava Tube has the greatest number of living creatures, including the Jeju cave-spider. In the upper part of Entrance 2, there are at least 30,000 common bent-wing bats forming the largest colony of bats confirmed to be living in Korea so far.
