What is the second highest mountain on the Korean Peninsula?

Baekdusan Heaven and the surrounding peaks are beautiful.

Maybe many people think of Halla Mountain in Jeju Island. Mt. Halla is 1,950m above sea level, which is deeply recognized as the highest mountain in South Korea. It is easy to think that it is high on the Korean Peninsula after Mt.

However, there are many mountains in North Korea that are over 70,000 mountains over 2,000m. There are 54 of them, and there are 60 or 72. What is precise is the closed society, there is no accurate statistics, and I do not know. The obvious fact is that it will be around 60 or so.

Even if the peak around Baekdusan is only 2,744m, it is 2,744m, and the peak which is 2,500m more than Baekunbong (2,691m), Astronomon with the weather station (2,670m), Baekam Mountain (2,670m), Chungam mountain (2,691m) 2,580m), and Chailbong (2,596m). There are sixteen peaks on the Chinese side and seven on the North side. The other three peaks are on the border between China and North Korea.


We know that we do not usually hit the peaks in the same mountain range on separate mountain highs. It is similar to the one that does not say that the peaks in Jirisan are the third or fourth highest mountain in South Korea.

In conclusion, the second highest mountain in the country is the mountainous sea bream (2,540m) on the boundary between Kyungsung-gun and Kyungsung-gun in North Hamgyong province. Around 2,000m or more of mountains, such as North Paleo, Dongguan, and Hongdae, form annual salaries.

Therefore, Mt. Halla and Jirisan can not even make business cards compared to the height of mountains in North Korea.

Peaks and names around heaven and earth.

And one more, why does the height of Baekdu Mountain differ slightly from country to country? 2,749.2m in China, 2,750m in North Korea, and 2,744m in South Korea. Why?

The height of the mountain is called the sea level, and the sea level is measured at 0m and the sea level is measured to be higher than that. This is the distance from the sea's plane to a certain point, which is also called the sea level, the altitude, and the sea level. The height of the mountain is not the height from the plain but the height from the sea level.

Mt. Baekdusan The waterfall that can be seen up to the top of the mountain can be seen anywhere.

The level origin, which is the standard for measuring altitude in each country, is based on the specific sea of ​​the country, so it can not be different. The level origin is the average sea level in Incheon, and the origin level is 26.6871m in height. Therefore, the origin level of Korea is 26.6871m, not 0m above sea level. This is the standard for the height of our country.

The origin of the level in North Korea is off the coast of Wonsan, and the height of the sea is 6m lower than the sea level off the coast of Incheon. In North Korea, the height of Baekdu Mountain is 2,750m. In China, the origin of the level is set off the coast of Tianjin, which is 0.8m lower than North Korea, and the height of Mt. Baekdu is 2,749.2m.
