The following images are just some of the numerous pictures me and those involved with this website have put together since this website was started a few years ago. After three years we have literally hundreds of images we’d like to share with you of Dokdo – Takeshima and her sister island, Korea’s Ulleungdo. This page is just a temporary image database until we decide which Wordpress gallery plug-in we’d like to go with.

There are two galleries, the first is of Dokdo Island and further down can be seen pictures of Ulleungdo. A brief description of each picture is encoded within each alt tag, simply place your cursor over the thumbnail to view it. Originally the pics were in RAW format or jpg Fine I had to downsize them a little, but you’ll find each picture quite detailed. Of course, click pics for a larger image. But first a brief overview of the Dokdo – Takeshima Island region.

Historically regarded as Dokdo’s big sister island, Ulleungdo has long been known for her “luxurious” forests, bamboo and marine life. Ulleungdo is a very difficult island to get around on because of her mountainous terrain and lack of transportation. However, with the help of local residents Mr Kim Nam Hee (Ulleungdo Mania Tour Agency) in Dodong, ( see link ) and Mr Jin Seong we were able to visit places that most tourists fail to see.
