South Korea, an East Asian nation on the southern half of the Korean Peninsula, shares one of the world\u2019s most heavily militarized borders with North Korea. It has a population of 51.75 million, of which roughly half live in the Seoul Capital Area, the fifth largest metropolis in the world. South Korea is a highly developed country and is ranked as the seventh-highest country on the Human Development Index in the Asia and Oceania region. South Korea has the third-highest life expectancy in the world.<\/p>
South Korea has two volcanic islands Cheju, off the peninsula\u2019s southern tip, and Ull\u016dng, about 85 miles east of the mainland in the East Sea and a small-scale lava plateau in Kangw\u014fn province. The greatest influence on the climate of the Korean peninsula is its proximity to the main Asian landmass. This produces the marked summer-winter temperature extremes of a continental climate while also establishing the northeast Asian monsoons that affect precipitation patterns.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
