It is said that the depth of the ocean can never be measured. But there is a place on Earth where the sea splits in two when the waves recede, creating a path that looks as if the water never existed. We tell you that this place is not located in India but in South Korea. If you visit this place, you will surely have a different experience here. Let’s find out exactly where this place is located and the mystery behind how the sea is divided into two parts.

Jindo to Modo Island

South Korea has a unique island called Jindo Island. This island is known for its mysterious sea route. It is called the Miraculous Sea Route. The seaway formed between Jindo and Modo islands is long and wide. It is such a unique sight, which can amaze anyone, but it is not a miracle but a natural phenomenon.

This sea channel is formed by the tidal system between the islands. You may have read about it in a book. The water of this sea keeps rising and falling. This process takes place due to gravity. Tide is the process by which sea water rises, meaning the waves become higher. At low tide the water recedes and this is when the water begins to move back. This is a temporary process, so the path formed in the sea is not permanent but is only formed for a few hours.

This formation in the sea usually occurs twice a year. The route is reported to be approximately 2.8 kilometers long and 40 meters wide. People can walk through this path. But timing is equally important. This route is open for one hour only. A ‘Jindo Sea Parting Festival’ is also celebrated in Korea when the sea splits into two. This event usually happens at the end of April. A large crowd of people gather at this place during the festival and various activities like mussel gathering, Jindo Arirang (local folk songs) and cultural programs are performed.
