Boreumdo

Boreumdo (Korean: 볼음도; Hanja: 乶音島) is an island in Seodo-myeon, Ganghwa County, Incheon, South Korea. Located in the Yellow Sea near the maritime border with North Korea, it is the westernmost inhabited island of Ganghwa County. The island has an area of 6.57 km² and a coastline measuring approximately 16 km.^[1]

Etymology

According to local tradition, the island was originally known as Manwoldo ("Full Moon Island"). During the reign of King Injo of Joseon, the military commander Im Gyeong-eop is said to have sheltered on the island during a storm and, after seeing a full moon rise over the sea, gave it the name Manwoldo. Over time, the name evolved into Boreumdo, with boreum (보름) meaning "full moon" in Korean. ^[1]

Geography

Boreumdo lies in the Yellow Sea and forms part of the Seodo-myeon island group. It is located at approximately 37°40′N 126°13′E. The island's northern shoreline forms part of the maritime boundary area facing North Korea. ^[1]

Ecology

Boreumdo is renowned for it's Spoonbill population, a migratory bird. Since 2012, Boreumdo has been designated as a protected habitat for Spoonbills.
