Subject: Fw: Parting of the Sea in Jindo
The story of Moses is a famous tale
among Christians and Jews throughout
the world. The miracle of the parting of
the Red Sea when Moses and the Jews
were trapped between the Red Sea and
the armies of Egypt is perhaps the
most memorable and impressive part
of the story. But do you know that the
same miracle happens in Korea every
year?
The Jindo county is an archipelago of
250 islands, of which Jindo Island is
the third largest in Korea. Every year at
the end of February and again in mid-
June, extremely low tide causes a
natural land pass 2.9 km long and 10–
40 meters wide to appear connecting
the main Jindo island and a small
Modo island to the south of Jindo. The
pass stays for about an hour before
being submerged again.
