i was shocked and appalled to see that it took nearly a dozen posts before anyone commented on the fact that there are real live monsters swimming in a volcanic lake!! you would almost stop and wonder if this was turning into dave’s esl cafe.

real live monsters! not just dots! monsters! probably spawned from nucleur fallout resulting from so much testing.

Would it also entail this monster having an insatiable appetite for metal and eventually the peasants revolting to defeat it? Hummm… who would Kim Jong Il have to kidnap this time to direct it?

I think a Baekdusan lake monster would be a good movie premise, at least, a lot better than those used for “D-Wars” and the Han River “Monster” movie. By the way, I liked the Han River monster movie, even though the premise was silly.

It would be interesting to see a movie with the North Korean army taking on the Baekdusan monster. One possible ending could be that the North Koreans are just on the verge of destruction when Kim Jong-il rides up on his white horse and slays the monster. The movie would end with a big mass game celebration and a teary-eyed crowd franticly cheering “The Dear Leader.” That would be a guaranteed blockbuster.

#8 I went there from China last year. Not on a group tour mind you.
The group tours there are so annoying and are basically a stop-go photo opps.

I did say two “near equal parts” as I have not seen official government maps from China or the DPRK.

Like I said…if anyone wants to do some field work on this discussion and walk around ridge then let me know how far you get.

Clearly it’s a case of Mother Nature at her teleological best, not otters, not a monster of prehistoric yore that survives and is found in a lake; but, rather, a case of hanguk-saram evolution, as predicted in the scientific sketchings of one racist inter-nerd, here:

Random Guy….

Remember, that lake monster is in a “Chinese” lake and being documented by an “Italian” film crew…

Koreans, as of yet, are not involved yet…

Everyone knows the physical laws of the universe are suspended in Korea.

If you can have fan death, then you can have Korean Godzilla-esque prehistoric monsters in Baekdusan.

Ist conclusion should be maybe otters swimming in some kind of loose formation or North Koreans making a break for it by swimming across the lake.

But those blurry dots indicating some type of lake monster? Com’on…

A couple of problems with this monster idea. First off, how did
the monster get up there? The lake formed about 1,000 years ago, well after the prehistoric creature died off. Secondly, Baekdusan had a major
eruption during the Chosun dynasty, which would have killed off any
thing living in the lake. And, the temperature of the lake is way
too cold for the type of ancient dinasaur which allegedly lives there.
Added to the fact that there isn’t enough fish in the lake to sustain
the creature.
So, I’m skeptical. Maybe it’s something else - a secret North Korean alpine submarine?
Considering how popular Baekdusan is, maybe the North should try to
capture some of the tourist market, not literally of course. They’d
probably make alot more money than they do through Kumgansan.

#9,

Yes and North Korea actually gained some territory in that agreement. North Korea has since held possession of 60% of the mountain and lake. Look it up on Google Earth. I was showing Google Earth to my brother-in-law when I zoomed in on the mountain. He saw the border and started protesting that Baekdu was only in Korea territory. I had to explain to him about the treaty.
