Elephant Rock
코끼리바위
A basalt islet off Hyeonpo Port that looks like an elephant drinking water, with clear columnar joints; a must-see on island cruises.
Elephant Rock lies in the sea near Hyeonpo Port on Ulleungdo's north coast. It is a small island of columnar basalt, eroded by waves into an arch in its middle. From a distance it looks like an elephant dipping its trunk into the sea. You can view it from the ring road or from the Yerimwon observation deck, and island cruises pass close to the arch. The nearby Hyeonpo Port and Gongam area have clear waters, making it a good spot to stop for photos. Admission is free.
