The purpose of this study is to investigate a feasibility of a small mountain as a field work site on geological features in Earth sciences classes at all levels. Mt. Geumdang with the height of 305 meters from the sea level is located in the metropolitan city of Gwangju, southern part of Korea. The study reviews the human and natural geography, geological features, geomorphic resources, landscapes, and conveniences of the mountain for a possibility of meaningful field work. The population within the distance of 5 km from the mountain stands at about 620,000 and 170,000 of them are students and teachers. Mt. Geumdang has a warm temperature climate with low rainfall throughout the year, so it seems suitable for a field survey. Road network and public transportation system around the area are well-developed and easily accessible. Mt. Geumdang shows various rock type and geological structures. The basement rock is Gwangju granite, which is plutonic body of the Jurassic period. Also, granophyre (micrographic granite) and various volcanic rocks distributed as bedded tuff, lapilli tuff, and rhyolite of the Cretaceous period. Many andesitic and felsic dykes were intruded into the rock by joint system. In Mt. Geumdang, many geomorphic resources are found such as U shaped mountain, joint, fault, lamination, gnamma, tor, cliff, groove, block stream and block field, regolith, and saprolite. It has a beautiful mountain scenery including the view of whole shape of Mt. Mudeung, panoramic view of the town, Pungam lake, World Cup stadium and sunrise and sunset. Furthermore, the area has ecologic study facilities related to geology, emergency medical and convenience facilities for field works. In conclusion, Mt. Geumdang is highly feasible for geological field studies at all levels.

본 연구는 난중일기의 기록 중 이순신 장군이 명량해전 이후 한반도 서남해안을 항해하면서 조선수군의 새로운 본영을 물색하고, 명량해전 이후의 조선수군의 전략을 구상하던 장소로서 전시 임시 전략지휘소로서 의미가 큰 안편도(발음도)의 현재의 지명으로 추정되는 섬들 중 팔금도를 대상으로 항해 과학적 관점에서 조명하고 분석한 내용이다. 분석 결과 이순신 장군과 그의 참모들이 올라가 주변을 조망한 위치로 추정되는 섬 중의 하나인 팔금도의 채일봉과 금당산에서 관측한 방향이 난중일기에 기록된 내용과 일치하지 않은 부분이 많음을 확인하였다.
