Most of the lakes of Korea are artificial reservoirs. There are few natural lakes because there were little diastrophism and volcanic activities in Korea and Korea has never been covered by continental glaciers. Natural lakes include the crater lakes atop Hallasan and Paektu Mountain, Upo Wetland, and various lagoons along the coast of the Sea of Japan.
