Sobaek Mountains

They split off from the Taebaek Mountains and trend southwest across the center of the peninsula.

They are traditionally considered to reach their southwestern limit at Jirisan, which, at an elevation of 1,915 meters, is also the highest peak of the range.

The peaks of the Sobaek Mountains are generally well over 1,000 m above sea level.

[1][2] The Sobaek Mountains form the southern half of the Baekdu-daegan, the symbolic "spine" of Korea.

[3] They mark the traditional border between the Honam and Yeongnam regions.
