We recently discovered that Jeju has been officially inaugurated as one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature in Sept 2012. Fondly known as ‘Jejudo’ by the locals, Jeju is a natural volcanic island deserving this great honour. To find out which other places are the official New 7 wonders of Nature, please read the article here.
Here are some photos which remind us how scenic Jeju is, even in bitter cold Korean Winter:
