Baengma Ridge (Mudeungsan Area National Geopark)

Baengma Ridge is a large ridge that stretches from Jangbuljae to Nakta Peak and the summit of Anyangsan, at an elevation of 800–900m above sea level and a length of 2.5km. It is named because the silver grass on the horse-back-shaped terrain resembles the mane of a white horse. Satellite images show that the southwestern slope of Baengma Ridge has many large and small talus deposits distributed between 500–900m above sea level. On the other hand, almost no talus is observed on the northeastern slope. This phenomenon is presumed to be because physical weathering caused by repeated freezing and thawing of water in rock crevices during winter is concentrated on the sun-exposed southwestern slope, producing the rock blocks that form the talus.
