Tangyol Peak volcano is among the geological sites in the Mt Paektu area registered as a global geopark. The volcano, 2 661m above sea level, sprawls over a flat ridge between Haeppal Peak volcano and Jebi Peak volcano.

Its top surface is covered with a layer of white pumice up to 8m thick.

The outer slope consists of rhyolite lava that is an ejecta from the fifth stage of eruption of Mt Paektu volcano.

In the wake of the Millennium Eruption, Tangyol Peak broke down in part at the side of Lake Chon with the collapse of the caldera to form a steep cliff with 85 degrees of gradient and an outside slope with 20-25 degrees.

Tangyol Peak volcano is of significance in the research into the volcanic landform of Mt Paektu and the cooling process of lava.
