Removing snow on the main roads, traffic returns to normal.

Here is an aerial view of Jeju.
After the record snowfall, the downtown area of Jeju turned into a city covered in snow.

Heavy snow accumulated on the rooftop of buildings, roads and playgrounds of schools.

After working non-stop to remove the snow, paralyzed roads began to function again and cars began picking up speed.

Winter mountain hikers are fascinated by the picturesque scenery made by the record snowfall.

On top of several major oreums, untouched snow caps the volcanic cones.
