A fatal accident occurred in Mongolia’s representative volcanic tourist site, where a famous South Korean travel influencer fell to her death.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on the 7th that Ms. A, a woman in her 20s, died in a fall at the Uran Togoo Volcano in Bulgan Province, Mongolia, on the 28th of last month.
Ms. A, who had approximately 90,000 followers and primarily operated through Instagram, was reported to have been on a business trip to northern Mongolia when the incident occurred.
A source from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs told TV Chosun, “Ms. A is presumed to have lost her balance and fallen while taking photos atop the volcano due to sudden strong winds, resulting in her death. We are investigating the exact circumstances in cooperation with local authorities.”
The Uran Togoo Volcano stands approximately 1,680 meters above sea level, with a crater diameter of 500–600 meters and a depth of 50–60 meters. The crater interior features grasslands and small ponds, and its unique terrain and geological value make it one of Mongolia’s representative volcanic tourist sites. Currently a dormant volcano, it is known as a trekking destination near the Khovsgol region, which attracts many South Korean tourists.
