Wood-burning stove in traditional heating system

Kim In-soo (top), leader of Dachon Village, and his mother, Shon Gap-hyun, warm themselves in front of a wood-burning stove, also used for cooking dinner, in Miryang, South Gyeongsang Province, southeastern South Korea, on Dec. 18, 2025, amid the mercury dipping to an intraday low of minus 4 C in the region. The stove is part of the traditional Korean home where the sleeping area is heated by a unique under-floor heating system, known as "ondol," and powered by the fire pit. (Yonhap)
