LAKE  CHUNGJU

 

Lake Chungju (located in northeastern Chungcheong North Province, South Korea) is an artifical lake, formed from damming & flooding of the Namhan River in 1985.

 

The pics below show what Lake Chungju looks like near its eastern end, along the north side of Rt. 36.  The beautiful weathered cliffs here are intrusive igneous rocks of the Bulguksa Granite, a Cretaceous to early Paleogene subduction zone complex.  The North Koreans calls this stuff the Amnokgang Complex.
