Geomunoreum (Korean: 거문오름; Hanja: 拒文岳; 巨文岳; 巨門岳), alternatively Geomeunoreum (검은오름), is an oreum (small extinct volcano) around Jocheon and Gujwa in Jeju City, Jeju Province, South Korea.[1][2]
The oreum is a popular tourist attraction, and has been a Natural Monument of South Korea No. 444 since January 6, 2005.[3][2] In 2007, the Geomunoreum Lava Tube System around the oreum was made a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site, as part of the item Jeju Volcanic Island and Lava Tubes.[1]
There are several other oreum in Jeju with similar names; this one is sometimes called the Seonheul-ri Geomunoreum or Dong Geomunoreum (동거문오름; lit. East Geomunoreum).[2]
