Jeju: Jeju International Airport
Jeju International Airport has served as Jeju Island’s principal air hub in Jeju City since 1968. Set on the island’s northern side, it links South Korea’s mainland with a destination known for volcanic terrain and a distinct island culture. Hallasan, the shield volcano at Jeju’s centre, is South Korea’s highest mountain and anchors the island’s topography. Jeju City spreads between its northern coast and the mountain’s lower slopes, where urban districts meet cultivated plots and wooded ground. The airport is integral to the island’s connections, while Jeju’s haenyeo—women divers who harvest seafood without breathing apparatus—represent a living tradition recognised by UNESCO.

Jeju-si straddles Jeju Island’s northern coastline in Jeju-do, and its harbour-facing position has long made it the island’s principal urban and transport centre. The city lies between the Korea Strait and the slopes rising towards Hallasan, South Korea’s highest mountain and the volcanic summit that defines the island’s interior. Around the old centre, Jeju Mokgwana recalls the Joseon-era provincial administration, while Dongmun Market remains a busy place for local seafood and Jeju produce. Coastal roads, ferry connections and the airport keep the city closely linked to the wider island. Browse additional webcams from Jeju Island to extend your view of Jeju-do.

Built around Jeju Island’s volcanic core, Jeju-do grew into South Korea’s largest island province. Hallasan, rising to 1,947 metres at the island’s centre, slopes down toward a coastline marked by basalt cliffs, small bays and beaches. Lava has shaped much of the terrain, and the island’s lava-tube system forms part of the UNESCO-listed Jeju Volcanic Island and Lava Tubes World Heritage site. The sea remains central to local life, especially in the traditions of the haenyeo, women divers who harvest seafood without breathing apparatus; their culture is on UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage list.

South Korea stretches from the mountainous border with North Korea to Jeju Island, encompassing forested ranges, fertile river basins and a deeply indented southern coast. The Taebaek Mountains run along much of the east, while the Han River crosses Seoul before reaching the Yellow Sea. Busan faces the Korea Strait, and tidal flats and islands shape the country’s western shore. Seoul combines dense contemporary districts with royal Joseon sites, including Gyeongbokgung Palace, first built in 1395. Kimchi and bibimbap are central to everyday cuisine, while the Korean alphabet, Hangeul, was created in the 15th century.
