The Pegae Peak volcano is one of the geological sites in the Mt Paektu area registered as a global geopark.
The volcano, located at 1 621 metres above sea level, is roughly midway between Mt Sobaeksan volcano and Mt Pukphothae volcano on the Mt Paektu Deep Fault Zone in the northwestern direction.
It consists of three basaltic lava rock bodies and the name of the peak derives from its similarity in shape to a pillow. The middle lava body extends eastward, and the other bodies on its both sides northeast and southwest
A plateau rolls over the ridge of the peak and its outside inclines with a slope of 15-20°. The volcano body consists of grey basalts and red or reddish brown porous basalts.
The Pegae Peak volcano is of great significance in the study of volcanic landforms formed by basaltic lava rocks.
