A huge volcanic cone with Janggun Peak, the highest one of Mt Paektu, as its main peak, its geological variety, formation of the Lake of Samjiyon Mubangsu, underground water falls of Rimyongsu, Namphotaesan Volcano and other grand volcanic sights can be called the original geological characteristics of Mt Paektu.
