사려니숲 Saryeoni Forest (#2)

사려니숲 Saryeoni Forest is located on the middle slopes of Halla Mountain. Jeju Island is a volcanic artifact, and lava fields are to be easily found. This coverage of special lava geology, as well as the fact that it is an island, gives Jeju a special ecological character. In the mid-ground of this recording are heard the mountain crows...their caws echo among the forest (...there were many trees of a good age and size here as is hard to find in other parts of Korea)...in the foreground the activity of many smaller forest birds...wingbeats...background; the curse of Jeju Island is the inescapable noise of the tourism industry...aircraft, tour buses, etc...
