Jeden z najpotężniejszych super wulkanów naszej planety znajduje się na granicy Chin i Korei Północnej. Nazywa się Paektu. Ostatnia jego erupcja miała miejsce w 946 r. n. e., ale obecnie znów zaczyna przejawiać wzmożoną aktywność. Szczyt wulkanu znajduje się na wysokości 2740 m. n. p. m. Ostatnia erupcja Paektu była tak silna, że miała wpływ na Japonię. W 2002 roku naukowcy z Korei Północnej zaczęli badać procesy zachodzące w głębi Paektu. Super wulkan jest tak niebezpieczny, że zagraża władzy lidera KRLD.
