Jeongbang Waterfall is a famous waterfall on Jeju Island. The waterfall is 23 m (75 ft) high
and is very close to the ocean. Depending on the level of recent rainfall, it can be up 8 m (26 ft)
wide. The source of the waterfall is the stream Donghong-chun.
Since it is a strong rock carved by wave erosion, it is called a sea stack. At the peak of the
island, there are pine trees that are regenerating. Since it is isolated far from the land and
located lonely in the middle of the sea, it was named Oedolgae Rock.
