Final Assessment
Jeju Island a Billion Years from Now!!
Peak of Mt Hallasan

| Snow cap on Mt Hallasan |
Mt Hallasan is home to the magnificent Baengnokdam crater lake and is created by the majestic cliffs, steep slopes, unique rock formations and making it ideal for hikers. As you can see in the pictures above, you can see the peak of where the snow gets packed through the cold winters. It mostly will pack more of the snow onto the inner part where the crater is because it's deeper than the outside of the volcano. The sun rises on the east causing the opposite side of the crater, casting a shadow which the snow will melt slower. It also depends on the shadow of where the sun hits and therefore you will be able to see which area of the crater will melt faster or slower. The landform around Mt Hallasan is created by material deposited by the water due the environment as well. In about 10,000 or 100,000 years from now, Mt Hallasan can become less of what it looks like now.

Geomuneoreum
The Geomunoreum Lava Tube System incorporates Geomunoreum and five other caves: Manjanggul, Gimnyeonggul, Yongcheondonggul, Bengduigul, and Dancheomuldonggul.
Geomunoreum is 456m above sea level in Jeju and refers to the oreum (Jeju dialect for small volcano). In between 100,000 and 1,000,000 years from now, The oreum, where the lava from the volcanic activity occurred, it can change along the northeastern coastal slopes and sculpt new and unique landscape of Seonheulgot, another cave. The lava from before has also created a series of unique caves also known as lava tubes as well.

| Udo Island Sea Stack
As you can see in the picture above is the sea stack. Parts of the cliffs start to break off and eventually float away or turns out like the one in the picture how it's just next the part where it broke off from. Erosional landforms are created by the breaking down of rock formations over time due to outside forces and conditions. In 10,000 years from now, parts of the cliffs that already fell off can break even more until it starts to get smaller.

Udo Island Sunrise Peak
The island gets its name, Cow Island, from its shape, which when viewed from afar looks like a cow lying down. The coastal landscape in Jeju is always changing due to the
frequent rain they receive year-round. It can cause the tide and waves to rise and
damage the coast. The formations such as sea
caves will begin to form over time. In the Sunrise Peak, there will be new caves forming in about 1,000,000 years from now due to the rough tides that wash up against it taking parts of the rocks out and carving it's way through.
