Jukdo Island is a small inhabited island near Ulleungdo Island, located 4 kilometers apart from Jeodonghang Port and 7 kilometers away from Dodonghang Port, both of which are nestled northeast of Ulleungdo Island. Normally, tourists visit Jukdo Island on their way back to the 'mainland' by taking a ferry service that departs from Dodonghang Port.
The natural environment of Jukdo Island is uncontaminated, thus almost everything is so pristine to the extent that people can even collect rainwater to drink, much thanks to its geological and cultural distance from the more modernized parts of Korea.

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.
