SEOUL, March 21 (AJP) - Jeju Island's Yongmeori Coast, or "Dragon's Head Coast," is a tableau of striated sandstone cliffs, sculpted by millennia of wind and wave. Here, the earth itself appears to mimic a mythical beast, its head plunging into the churning waters.

The cliffs, carved into fantastical shapes by the relentless sea, create a labyrinth of grottoes and overhangs, a landscape both alien and breathtaking.
