Geum Parasitic Cone is one of the most famous parasitic cones in the western mountainous region of Jeju. It is a satellite volcanic edifice that has a large circular crater (52 meters deep) and a crater at the summit, and the two peaks in the south and the north are connected by a low slope from east to west. The crater at the summit once held an abundant volume of water but it is now empty. The name Geum Parasitic Cone is speculated to have derived from an archaic word "Gom," which means "god." Therefore, it can be interpreted that this parasitic cone has been deified since the ancient times. Pines, cedars, briers, bo trees and Oriental photinia can be found near the circular crater and the lake area.
