photo: Dizzying Heights - This panorama was taken in the open area fronting the highest shelter in Seoraksan National Park (소락산). In the panorama, the peak to the left of the shelter (without the white spheres) is the highest point (대청봉) in the entire park at an under-appreciated 1709m. And the spheres or more accurately, geodesic domes, if I may? I don't know their function. I was too tired, hungry and stinky to risk expending more energy asking what seemed at the time, a useless question. A good guess is that it has to do with meteorology but my mind's buggy from staring at a computer screen all day that I wouldn't suggest believing me at the moment.

photo: Top Panorama - A panoramic view of the 1708m peak Dae Chung Bong (대청봉) at Seoraksan (소락산) National Park. On either side of the peak are paths that lead back down to warmth and safety but most importantly, Korean food (though around these parts, they just call it 'food'). Why so important? Because honestly, those man-sized helpings of bibim bap (비빔밥) and doenjang jigae (된장 찌개) aren't gonna finish themselves!
