Dokdo Videos and Images Gallery
Over the years we've produced a few videos to help explain the Dokdo Dispute to our visitors. No need to waste time surfing all over Youtube. We've added a few news and media videos that are just fun to watch. Hover over the video for a brief description of each video. Enjoy!

Since 2008 this website has been supporting Korea’s claim to Dokdo Island. We now have literally hundreds of pages of maps and historical records proving Dokdo is indisputably Korean territory. I’d like to thank all of those who have contributed to our database along the way. That said, this independent website takes time, money and effort to produce. But we do it because we believe Dokdo is undeniably Korean. If you believe Dokdo is an inherent part of Korea, your donation is greatly appreciated! (webmaster Steven Barber)

 
Gallery One: Images of Korea's Dokdo Island
These are some pictures me and those involved with this website have put together since it was created in 2008. There are two galleries, the first is of Dokdo Island and further down can be seen pictures of Ulleungdo.

Images gathered over the last three years during dokdo-takeshima.com’s research trips…

Gallery Two: Dokdo's Sister Island, Ulleungdo
Historically regarded as Dokdo's big sister island, Ulleungdo is known for her "luxurious" forests, bamboo and marine life. Ulleungdo is a very difficult island to navigate because of her mountainous terrain and lack of transportation. However, with the help of local residents Mr Kim Nam Hee and Mr Jin Seong, (Ulleungdo Mania Tour Agency) we were able to visit places that many tourists fail to see.
Korea's Ulleungdo Island

"..This gallery is a work in progress…!"
Those of us involved in this website visit both Ulleungdo and Dokdo frequently. Thus, we hope to update this gallery once in a while. Feel free to drop by and check us out and see what's new whenever you like! (webmaster Steven J. Barber)
