Around 40,000 years ago, the site used to be a gigantic lake of 61 acres. What we see there today was largely submerged in water, and the highest point was an island in the middle.
Because the area was a prehistoric lake, it is full of ancient marine fossils. These are mostly strange fish, coral, and algae.
What we see today is actually an ancient volcano that was mostly submerged in water, with only the tip showing through as an island.
Isla Incahuasi is located in Salar de Uyuni, the world’s largest salt flat. The surrounding landscape burns a brilliant white and the rocks blaze up to the clear sapphire skies. The rocky volcanic terrain is punctuated by gigantic cacti.

The site is considered to be of acute geological interest. The peculiar volcanic rock formations afford valuable insight into how volcanic ash sediments into rock structures. If you’re a geologist or interested in the archaic history of our earth’s formation, this place is well worth a visit!
Seongsan Ilchulbong is also home to a great array of flora. There are 220 different species of plants on the Tuff Cone, six of which are very rare. In addition to these rare species of plant, there are also over 300 different species of marine algae to discover.
Due to Seongsan Ilchulbong’s interesting natural history and flourishing plant life, the Tuff Cone was made a UNESCO World heritage Site.
You can visit this remarkable place yourself for an entry fee and climb up its broad flanks.
