Samseonam Rocks is comprised of three rock pillars off the northern coast of beautiful Ulleungdo Island. The sea stacks were formed by waves breaking down a block of columner joints over time, leaving the three remaing stacks behind. The sides of the stacks are dotted with many holes, resembling honeycomb. The rocks name, meaning "Three Hevenly Maiden Rocks," comes from a myth that three heavenly maidens were so enraptured by the beauty of Ulleungdo that they missed their curfew to return to heaven and were thereby punished by being turned to stone.

Gwaneumdo Island is the third largest island among the islands around Ulleungdo Island. Gwaneumdo Island was originally connected to Ulleungdo Island, but as a result of being eroded by the sea for a long time, it separated from Ulleungdo Island. There is a suspension bridge between the two islands, so visitors can travel on foot. Gwaneumdo Island has three observatories and two trails (Courses A and B), allowing one to enjoy the scenic highlights of Ulleungdo Island. Also worth seeing are the coastal cliffs of Gwaneumssanggul Twin Caves and the columnar joints that appeared due to cooling lava flows. The scenery with the various seasonal plants is spectacular. Strong winds can cause access restrictions, so it's best to check the Ulleung-gun county government office's website before visiting.
