Changbaishan, or Baekdusan in Korea, is a mountain range along the north part of the Korean peninsula. The highest point is a volcano (2744 m) also called Changbaishan. The name means "ever-white mountains."
Because it is on the border, Changbaishan is disputed territory. Both the People's Republic of China and North Korea claim that the mountain is theirs. Officially, part of the mountain range and volcano lies in each country.
