“An elephant in the sea?” you might ask. Well, almost. Today, we’re observing the majestic Elephant Rock also known as \ucf54\ub07c\ub9ac \ubc14\uc704. It stands proudly off the coast of Ulleungdo Island.
This rock rises about 50 meters above the water. Its name comes from its obvious resemblance to an elephant.
