About

Discover Nari Basin, a vast, volcanic caldera that offers a surprising flat expanse amidst Ulleungdo’s rugged coastline. Expect stunning views where the gentle basin meets dramatic seaside cliffs, evoking a sense of ancient isolation. Ideal for history enthusiasts and nature photographers, the basin offers a perfect backdrop for reflection. While ideal during mild seasons, a clear day ensures the best visibility of this unique geological marvel.

View original description
Originally a caldera formed on the northern Seonginbong Peak, Nari Basin is the only flatland on Ulleungdo Island. The lava flow from the volcanic eruption created two other craters, which were turned into Nari Village in the northeast and Albong Village, now uninhabited, in the northwest. Records were found that the island was inhabited since the Usan-guk period, but the islanders had to move out of the island in the earlier Joseon period until a new settlement policy was enforced later on.
