123-504: A condition known as leucism that causes its hair and skin to lose its natural colour. The white deer has played a prominent role in many cultures' mythology. Leucism is a rare genetic pattern that causes a reduction in the pigment of an animal's hair and skin. The natural colour of the red deer ranges from dark red to brown . They are often thought to be albinos ; however, unlike albinos, who have characteristically red eyes, deer with leucism have normal colouring in their eyes. It

164-565: A height of 1,950 metres (6,398 ft). A large volcanic crater over 400 metres (1,312 ft) in diameter tops the volcano. About 360 parasitic cones , or oreum ( 오름 ) in the Jeju language , are found on the volcano's flanks. Most of them are cinder cones and scoria cones , but there are also some lava domes and about 20 tuff rings near the coast and offshore, which were formed by underwater phreatic eruptions . The most recent eruptions are estimated to be about 5,000 years ago, which puts

205-473: Is a legend attributing the name of the lake to otherworldly men who descend from heaven to play with white deer . Depending on the season, the circumference of the lake is up to 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) with a depth up to about 100 metres (330 ft). The configurative rocks of the eastern and western walls of Baengnokdam are different. The eastern wall is covered with basalt lava 2–5 metres (6 ft 7 in – 16 ft 5 in) thick at its top. In

246-437: Is a massive shield volcano which forms the bulk of Jeju Island and is often taken as representing the island itself. There is a Korean traditional local saying that "Jeju Island is Hallasan, and Hallasan is Jeju." The mountain can indeed be seen from all places on the island, but its peak is often covered in clouds. The soil of Hallasan is mostly made out of volcanic ash , volcanic sand, and lapilli . The organic contents of

287-535: Is a place where the polar animal and the tropical animal coexist due to the difference of the climate zone according to the elevation. The mammals of Jeju Island are distributed among 5 orders and 114 families and 5 species. Thus, the distribution of mammals in Jeju Island is very poor in species and numbers because Jeju island became isolated from the Korean peninsula long ago. Their population has declined due to

328-460: Is distinguished biologically from albinism in that it causes a reduced pigmentation in all skin types, and not just melanin . There is also a black color morph of the white-tailed deer which exhibits melanism . While rare in their natural distribution, there is an incidence of up to 8.5% occurrence of black deer in certain regions of central Texas. White deer hold a place in the traditions of many cultures. They are considered to be messengers from

410-703: The Scouting movement, spoke to Scouts at the 1933 World Jamboree in Gödöllő , Hungary , about the white stag: The White Stag has a message for you. Hunters of old pursued the miraculous stag, not because they expected to kill it, but because it led them in the joy of the chase to new and fresh adventures, and so to capture happiness. You may look on the White Stag as the true spirit of Scouting, springing forward and upward, ever leading you onward to leap over difficulties, to face new adventures in your active pursuit of

451-461: The otherworld in some Celtic mythology ; they also played an important role in other pre-Indo-European cultures, especially in the north. The Celts believed that the white stag would appear when one was transgressing a taboo, such as when Pwyll trespassed into Arawn 's hunting grounds. In English folklore , the white hart is associated with Herne the Hunter . Arthurian legend states that

492-555: The Baengnokdam trachyte, was elevated on the dome, and the trachyte magma formed lava dome at its top. The inclination and direction of the Tamra Formation of Baengnokdam cannot be measured directly at Baengnokdam, but it is N10W of slope and 30NE of slope measured near the valley below North Baengnokdam, 1,580 metres (5,180 ft) above sea level. In order to understand the tendency of temperature change in Jeju Island,

533-470: The Ministry of Environment (a total of 59 species) are distributed in Jeju Island and 6 of them can be found in the natural reserve area of Hallasan. Also, about 50 kinds of special plants are distributed in Jeju Island, especially in the highlands of Hallasan. Because of the geographical character of the island, there are many subspecies due to isolation even though they are the same species. Also, Hallasan

574-556: The Seongpanak Information Center, it takes about 30 minutes. From Seogwipo city hall, it takes about 40 minutes. If you want to use public transformation, ride buses on road 516, which are 181, 182, 281.

738-473: The decrease in food because of the use of rodenticides and pesticides in recent years and indiscreet fishing. Weasels, badgers, and gazelles inhabit Hallasan. The number of weasels and badgers is declining. Tiger, Boar and Formosan deer are already extinct. Roe deer, the largest mammal in Hallasan, was once in danger of extinction, but now its population has increased due to protection policies and much effort by

779-463: The diptych paintings, Richard II is depicted wearing a gold and enamelled White Hart jewel, and even the angels surrounding the Virgin Mary all wear White Hart badges. On one of the reverse panels, there is a White Hart seated on a bed of rosemary, symbolising remembrance and sorrow. The white stag has also been invoked in contemporary society for its symbolism. Robert Baden-Powell , founder of

820-413: The eddy occurs. In order to understand the tendency of maximum temperature in Jeju Island, the area where the highest temperature occurred when the wind was weak was surveyed and analyzed. In the morning, when the reverse layer is formed and the wind is weak, the warm air of the lower layer is raised when the air movement between the upper and lower layers is blocked, and it is placed on the upper floor by

861-613: The higher aims of Scouting. Today, the Hungarian branch of Scouts uses the white stag as a symbol. The white stag is also prevalent in Hungarian mythology ; it was believed that a white stag led the brothers Hunor and Magor to Scythia , an action which preceded the formation of the Hun and Magyar people. The colour white has long been associated with purity; and in Celtic culture ,

902-427: The hiking trail. A total of 3,315 insect species live on the mountain. 254 spider species also live there. A study found that spider habitat is concentrated more on the north side of the mountain. Ticks live on the mountain and caused much damage to Jeju residents long ago. The damage caused by ticks continues. Six tick species cause problems for domestic animals. According to the world floral region, Hallasan belongs to

943-417: The intensity of the wind speed. When the wind blows due to the predominant sea breeze, the air cooled in Hallasan descends to the coastal area and induces a decrease in temperature. When the synoptic wind blows strongly, the cold air of Hallasan moves to the downwind side and the lowest temperature appears. The lowest temperature in the downwind area is 2–5 °C (3.6–9.0 °F) lower than in other areas, and

984-452: The islanders. Most amphibians and reptiles on Jeju Island are indigenous animals but there are some invasive species from Japan and China. Mt. Halla is particularly well-suited for amphibians and reptiles as a hideout, with well-developed grasslands and marshlands, and is rich in food. There are 364 kinds of birds in Jeju Island, 91 kinds of passing birds, 100 kinds of birds in winter, 42 kinds of resident birds and 43 kinds of vagrants. Among

1025-537: The large deviation in spring is because the phenomenon occurs frequently by Hallasan. Hallasan was isolated from the mainland for a long time and its species were able to become unique and different from mainland species. The elevation of the mountain causes various plant species to live there. The mountain became a habitat for plants that live in low elevation and plants that live in high elevation. 50 or more unique species live in Jeju Island, especially in high elevation area in Hallasan. Various animal species also live on

1066-430: The low-altitude coastal area by about 1–3 °C (1.8–5.4 °F), and 4 °C (7.2 °F) or higher on the downwind side. When the wind is blowing at 4–9 metres per second (13–30 ft/s), a weak sea breeze coming from the sea is formed on the coastal area and peak temperatures are mainly observed during the daytime. The change of the minimum temperature varies depending on the degree of cooling of Hallasan and

1107-456: The lower part, there is a high-concentration stream sediment layer of the Tamra layer. The western wall is made of the trachyte lava dome. The volcanic wall formed by the eruption of the lava should be composed of lava, analysis. However, the eastern wall is composed of the clastic sedimentary sediments, so it is not a crater by lava eruption but a pit crater. Namely, the trachyte magma, which formed

1148-489: The lowest temperature often occurs at night. When the weak northwestern synoptic winds blow, low temperatures occur in the eastern part of Jeju Island. The chill of the top of Hallasan descends downhill along the mountain range and is collected in the eastern part of Jeju Island so the morning temperature drops considerably. For the last five years, the deviation of temperature (maximum temperature - minimum temperature) increased in spring between March and May. The reason for

1189-441: The mountain is a designated national park , named Hallasan National Park . Hallasan is commonly considered to be one of the three main mountains of South Korea, along with Jirisan and Seoraksan . The Hallasan Natural Reserve was designated as a South Korean Natural Monument number 182 on October 12, 1966. Alternate English names for the mountain include Hanla Mountain and Mount Halla , and older English sources refer to

1230-426: The mountain. Because of the geography of the mountain, the same species evolved in different ways after thousands of years. Just like plant species, animal species originally living in cold and hot climates use the mountain as their habitat. There are a total of 160 bird species that use Hallasan as a habitat. Only 19 species are considered as a natural monument and protected by the government. Ravens are commonly seen in

1271-426: The mourning gallery ( 충혼묘지 , which is the entrance) only 6 times a day. It takes about 40~50 minutes on foot.

Hallasan

1353-415: The sea breeze, which affects the temperature rise in the mid-mountainous area. The occurrence of the highest temperature coincides with the formation position of the eddy, and when the wind is weak, the eddy forms in the middle mountain region. When the wind is weak, the warmth is accumulated in the middle layer, so the maximum temperature in the mid-mountainous area is higher than the maximum temperature of

1394-463: The short-term forecasting model of Halla, the weather data of the Korean peninsula, and the wind vectors from the AWS are analyzed. When the south winds flow into the sea, sea winds form around Hallasan, and a sea breeze is formed on the downwind side of the sea. On the coast, winds and the sea breezes gather around the coasts to form a persistent eddy , and the highest temperature occurs in the region where

1435-541: The soil are higher than any other soil in South Korea, and drainage is also better than any other place in South Korea, but its soil is relatively infertile. The volcanic island was constructed, starting in the Pliocene epoch, on the continental shelf , which is about 100 m (300 ft) below sea level in the area. Eruptions of basalt and trachyte lava built the island above sea level, and it now reaches

1476-415: The temperate subregion with Yangtze River basin and southwest Japan. From the coast to the top of the Hallasan, plants are distributed vertically from the subtropical plants to the alpine plants due to the environmental gradient. Of the 4,000 species of vascular plants native to Korea, about 400 species are estimated to be endangered or potentially rare. Especially, 23 species-specific wild plants designated by

1517-815: The transportation information really similar. Actually, the way of public transportation is same. But the time to come and go is quite different since these two trails are 30 minutes away by car. From Jeju city hall to the Yeongsil Information Center, it takes about 50 minutes. From Jungmun to Yeongsil Information Center, it takes about 30 minutes. To go to Donnaeko Trail by car, you should use road number 1115 which connects Jeju city Araun mountain river, Tamra education center, and Chunwangsa temple. From Jeju city hall to Donnaeko Information Center, it takes about 60 minutes and from Seogwipo city hall, it takes about 25 minutes. If you want to use public transportation, ride Seogwipo city bus 610-1. This bus goes to

1558-420: The volcano into the active classification, meaning it has erupted in the last 10,000 years. The designation as active is not agreed to by all, as more monitoring and study are needed to better understand the volcano. There is a crater lake on Hallasan called Baengnokdam ( 백록담 / 白鹿潭 ), meaning "white deer lake". It is formed by the collapse of the top of the ridge by the movement of magma underground. There

1599-523: Was destroyed in 1702 and closed for 200 years. The temple was rebuilt in 1908. It propagates Buddhism again in Jeju Island. There is a memorial site outside the temple to commemorate the victims of the Jeju uprising that took place between 1948 and 1950. It is one of the most visited places on the island. The mountain is also the location of Jonjaamji , a pagoda preserving relics of the Buddha. There are five hiking trails on Hallasan. The Donnaeko trail

1640-785: Was reopened to the public on December 4, 2009, after a fifteen-year hiatus. Only the Gwaneumsa and Seongpanak trails lead to the summit. The Donnaeko, Eorimok and Yeongsil courses only go as far as Witse Oreum ( 윗세오름 ), as the rest of the trail leading to the peak has been closed off since 1994 in order to restore and protect the vegetation. To go to Gwaneumsa Trail by car, you should use road number 1117 which connects Jeju Arra-dong Mountain and Tamra Education Center and Cheon-Wangsa. From Jeju city hall to Gwaneumsa Information Center, it takes about 25 minutes and from Seogwipo city hall, it takes about 50 minutes. If you want to use public transportation, ride Jeju city bus number 475. This bus does not enter

1681-403: Was told that he would suffer for Christ. A similar legend is associated with Saint Hubert . The White Hart was the badge of King Richard II of England , who probably derived it from the arms of his mother, Joan "The Fair Maid of Kent" , heiress of Edmund of Woodstock . It may also have been a pun on his name, as in "Rich-hart". Richard's White Hart is recumbent and wears a gold crown as
