Ueumdo Island
Korean name우음도
Machine-translated from Korean. Show original
Ueumdo was named because the island's shape resembles a cow, or because cow sounds could be heard from the mainland. Due to the development of the Sihwa Lake reclamation area, it is no longer an island but part of the mainland. Proof of this is the dinosaur egg fossils found near Ueumdo. The dinosaurs found here are believed to have formed a group habitat during the Cretaceous Period of the Mesozoic Era about 100 million years ago. About 30 dinosaur egg nest fossils and over 200 egg fossils were found at 12 sites. This dinosaur egg fossil site, with such rare value, is a popular tourist destination made famous by people who visited Ueumdo to take photos.
