Jukdo (Korean: 죽도; Hanja: 竹島) is a small island adjacent to Ulleungdo, South Korea, in the Sea of Japan. It was formerly also known as Jukseodo (죽서도; 竹嶼島) in Korea and China and as Boussole Rock or Ou-san in Europe. It lies 2 km (1 mi) east of Ulleungdo, and is the largest island in the group apart from Ulleungdo itself. In 2004, one family of three members was living on the island.
Outline
Administratively, Jukdo belongs to Jeodong-ri, Ulleung township, Ulleung County, Gyeongsangbuk-do. The Hanja used to write this island is Jukseodo (竹嶼島). Jukdo island measures 734 metres (0.456 mi) long and 482 metres (0.300 mi) wide.
