My name is Brittany Richardson, I am a Senior undergraduate English/writing student at the University of Colorado Denver. The subject of this blog will be Jeju Island or Jeju Province, which is one of the nine provinces of South Korea. It is the nation's largest island and is a volcanic island that is dominated by Halla Mountain, a volcano, and the highest mountain in South Korea. I was supposed to visit this island during the summer on my study abroad trip, but it was too expensive for the amount of time that we had. So, the curiosity is still there, I guess.

After doing a bit of research before the trip began, I was fascinated by how an island that is only 45 miles long and 40 miles wide can sustain over half a million people!! Also, the forest is the main groundwater source and water source for the entire island. How has that sustained this population for so long? Will it cause problems in the near future? Hopefully, I can go back and visit this summer with some little known geographical facts! Looking forward to learning something new!
