The 1293rd highest mountain range in the world

Mount Myohyang (Korean; lit. 'mysterious fragrant mountain') is a mountain in North Korea. It is named for the mystic shapes and fragrances found in the area. In the foundation myth of Gojoseon, the Samguk sagi listed Mount Myohyang as the home of King Tangun, forefather of the Korean people; however, it is now believed that the myth originally meant Paektu Mountain.
