The conference ended today and afterwords I was able to do some sightseeing around the island. Enjoyed some great hiking up Mt. Hallasan, which featured very interesting terrain. It got progressively colder as we went up, and we eventually found quite a bit of snow at the top. Turns out there was a small snack shack at the lower summit, where we enjoyed a very welcome cup of noodles. I included a picture of the hardy trekkers and fellow conference attendees Holger, Bobby, and myself.
Next we went to check out some interesting sculptures, which can be found just about everywhere on the island. I'll have to do some research to find out what meaning they have in the local culture. After that, we went to Sangumburi Crater, where we again saw interesting terrain. Very beautiful. Finally, we made it down to the coast to take a quick look at the beach. This place has everything!
