Jeollanam-do
Jindo and Modo Island
Jindo Island and Modo Island are located in Jeollanam-do Province, South Korea. Twice a year during low tide, a phenomenon called the Moses Miracle causes a land path to appear between the two islands. This land path is 2.8 km long and 40 meter wide is revealed for about an hour.
A legend behind this Korean phenomenon was that a Jindo village was attacked by tigers and all the villagers ran to Modo island for shelter. All except for a helpless old woman who was left behind, out of despair she prayed to the Sea God, who split the sea and helped her escape the bloodthirsty animals. However the Moses Miracle was largely unknown until 1975, when a French ambassador visited South Korea and wrote about it in a French Newspaper.
