The people of Jeju have been using stones to create sculptures and walls that Jeju became famous for.

Mid-slope regions‚ typically with volcanic rocks‚ streams‚ and broad-leaved trees. Make up around 6% of Jeju Island

Gotjawal Preservation Group] "Gotwajwal is a very important area of Jeju Island. Because of the consistent humidity level and temperature‚ rare species of plants can grow here. Also‚ underground water can be tapped here."
Sculptor Jang Gong Ik works on his sculptures at least 8 hours a day. He makes around 80 sculptures a year. So far‚ he has created over 100 thousand pieces.

The surface of these rocks are dark and shimmery.
Basalt is excavated and sold in strictly controlled quantities. Special precautionary measures are taken to prevent illegal excavation or smuggling of Jeju basalt.
