Ulleungdo Island: Ulleungdo (also spelled Ulreungdo
is a South Korean island in the Sea of Japan (East Sea). Formerly known
as Dagelet to the Europeans, Ulleungdo is about 120 km (75 mi) east of
the Korean Peninsula. Volcanic in origin, the rocky steep-sided island
is the top of a large stratovolcano which rises from the seafloor,
reaching a maximum elevation of 984 metres (3,228 ft) at Seonginbong
Peak. The island consists primarily of trachyandesite rock. A major
explosive eruption about 9,350 years ago reached a Volcanic Explosivity
Index of 6 and deposited tephra as far as central Honshū over 800 km
(500 mi) away.
