- Caption / Description:

Looking east from the Sorak cable-car up part of Soraksan (설악산), in Seoraksan National Park (설악산국립공원), South Korea. In the valley below, the dry riverbed full of boulders brought down from the mountains can be seen.
The large bright white buildings of the Kensington Stars Hotel (설악켄싱턴스타호텔), and further in the distance, the Sorak Park Hotel (설악파크 호텔), stand out against the tree covered mountainside.
From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seoraksan_National_Park):
The nature reserve protects an area of 163.6 square kilometers and contains many notable high peaks measuring over 1,200 meters above sea level including the highest peak of Soraksan, Daecheongbong, which has an altitude of 1,708 meters. The nature reserve contains mountain ranges of dissected granite and gneiss and is characterized by spectacular rocky hills and ridges. The magnificent natural beauty of Soraksan and the mountain ridges is due to these geographical features. Annual precipitation in Inner Soraksan is 1000 millimeters and 1300 millimeters in Outer Soraksan. - Tags / Keywords:
