Elephant Rock [Ulleungdo-Dokdo National Geopark]

Elephant Rock is situated approximately 500 meters off the northern coast of Ulleungdo Island and rises to a x_height of 50 meters. It derives its name from its remarkable resemblance to an elephant. This distinctive formation resulted from lava solidifying after a volcanic eruption, with the unique gap between what appears to be the elephant's trunk and its body sculpted over time by the relentless action of the waves.
