Twice a year during low tide, a land path over 2 kilometers long and 40 meters wide appears connecting the islands of Jindo and Modo in South Korea for about an hour in a natural phenomenon known as the Moses Miracle. A festival is held to celebrate this wonder that was largely unknown outside Korea until a French ambassador visited in 1975 and wrote about it, bringing it to wider attention. According to local legend, the path first appeared when villagers fled tigers to Modo island, but the sea god split the water to save an old woman left behind.

- 1. Jindo Island, in South Korea, is host to one of the world's most amazing natural phenomenons, called the Moses Miracle. Two times a year, during a low tide, a land path 2.8 kilometers long and 40 meters wide is revealed, uniting the islands of Jindo and Modo for a period of one hour. A festival is dedicated to this natural wonder and people from all around the world attend every year. However the Moses Miracle was largely unknown until 1975, when a French ambassador visited South Korea and wrote about in a French Newspaper. The legend behind this Korean phenomenon goes like this: 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. MOSES MIRACLE
