Camp - was built to hold prisoners during the Korean War. Out of a total of 170,000 prisoners of war, 20,000 were from China and 150,000 were from North Korea. The camp was closed upon the signing of the 1953 armistice which ended the war. Remains of the war, such as tanks, trucks and other relics are on exhibit here. The camp was turned into a park in 1997 to ensure that the Korean War is not a forgotten war. It takes approximately one hour to walk the park grounds. Hallyeohaesang National Park - was designated as a National Park in 1968. It is composed of parts of the southern coast and Namhaedo Island and Geojedo Island of the southern coast. Hallyeo Maritime National Park is famous for Odongdo island, which is covered with camellias and subtropical plants, and boasts beautiful sunrises and sunsets over Haegeumgang of Geojedo, Bijindo Island – famous for its native plant, Palsonyi Tree. Hansan Island is especially important because this is the grounds where General Lee Sun- Shin won the Imjinwaeran (War by Japan’s invasion of Korea in 1592).Hallyeo Maritime National Park is well known for the beautiful sea, islands and pristine seashores. Since there are many sites to visit, many visitors come in summer on vacation, and others return in spring or autumn on excursion trips. Among these sites, Geoje Haegeumgang river and Oedo Island Marine Tourism Farm, also known as the Paradise of Korea, are highly popular tourist courses. Oedo-Botania – is a marine botanical garden located in Hallyeo Maritime National Park, which has a beautiful view of the crystal blue South Sea and surrounding landscape. It is 4 kilometers away from Geojedo Island. About 20 minutes by ship from Gujora Port, past Naedo Island lies the European-like Oedo Island. In 1969, Lee Chang-ho first came to this island to escape from the wind and waves as he was fishing. He and his wife created this breathtaking landscape with all the care for 30 years. Haegeumgang Island - As one of the best sights in Geojedo Island, Geoje Haegeumgang is called the Geumgang (Sea Diamond) of the South Sea. As a rock island, Haegeumgang belongs to Hallyeo Marine National Park, which is assigned as an official green area in South Korea. There is Shipjagul Cave in the center of Haegeumgang, which is 100m long from east to west and 180m long from south to north. Hakdong Mongdol Beach – provides a cozy atmosphere. Hakdong was named so because its shape was said to be like a crane (in Korean ”Hak”) flying up to the sky. Compared to other beaches, it has small pebbles, ”Mongdol” in Korean, spans a distance of about 1.2 km, is 50m wide and covers a 30,000 §´ area starting from Yongbawi Rock. The feeling one gets when walking on these pebbles is soothing and the sound of the waves are refreshing.

Gyeongbokgung Palace is arguably the most beautiful and remains the grandest of all the five palaces.

    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Liolophura species discrimination with geographical distribution patterns and their divergence and expansion history on the northwestern Pacifc coast Eun Hwa Choi1,2,5, Mi Yeong Yeo1,5, Gyeongmin Kim1,3,5, Bia Park1,2,5, Cho Rong Shin1, Su Youn Baek1,2 & Ui Wook Hwang1,2,3,4* The chiton Liolophura japonica (Lischke 1873) is distributed in intertidal areas of the northwestern Pacifc. Using COI and 16S rRNA, we found three genetic lineages, suggesting separation into three diferent species. Population genetic analyses, the two distinct COI barcoding gaps albeit one barcoding gap in the 16S rRNA, and phylogenetic relationships with a congeneric species supported this fnding. We described L. koreana, sp. nov. over ca. 33°24′ N (JJ), and L. sinensis, sp. nov. around ca. 27°02′–28°00′ N (ZJ). We confrmed that these can be morphologically distinguished by lateral and dorsal black spots on the tegmentum and the shape of spicules on the perinotum. We also discuss species divergence during the Plio-Pleistocene, demographic expansions following the last interglacial age in the Pleistocene, and augmentation of COI haplotype diversity during the Pleistocene. Our study sheds light on the potential for COI in examining marine invertebrate species discrimination and distribution in the northwestern Pacifc. Chitons (Polyplacophora, Neoloricata, and Chitonida) are marine mollusks of the class Polyplacophora that possess a dorsal shell, which is composed of eight separate calcium carbonate plates1. Nearly a thousand extant chiton species are distributed worldwide, and over 430 fossil species have been reported, stretching back ca. 300 million years, from the late Ordovician to the Early Periman age 1,2; some have been dated as early as 500 million years old3,4.

  • A STUDY on the RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN KOREA and JAPAN in the 15Th CENTURY
    Moon Hyoungjin A STUDY ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN KOREA AND JAPAN IN THE 15th CENTURY І. Introduction orea and Japan are geographically very close, yet feel so distant from each other. KBoth are neighboring countries, but there seems to be an invisible wall between them. Korea and Japan are on guard against each other, rather than being open-minded to each other. Until recently, Koreans needed a visa to visit Japan. Japan wanted to control the entry of Koreans to Japan with the visa system, but to no avail: due to Japan’s higher currency exchange rate and technological level, the number of Koreans entering Japan kept increasing day by day. In addition, Korean politicians wanted to establish a diplo- matic relationship with Japan in order to expand their political power, and Korean busi- nessmen wanted to trade with Japan to maximize their profits. Japan’s political power, bigger economic size, and higher currency value were factors that increased the number of Koreans entering Japan. But then, what had the relationship between the two countries been like in ancient times? Currently, Japan is richer, technologically more developed than Korea, but in an- cient times, the situation was opposite. Several Korean dynasties adopted Chinese culture and then developed their own unique cultures. At the same time Japan received advanced culture and technology from the ancient dynasties of Korea. Hence, Japan had to depend on several dynasties of Korea for several thousands of years. In the relationship between Korea and Japan, Korea was in the position of offering favors and benefits to Japan, whereas Japan was a marginal nation, which received culture from the advanced dynas- ties of Korea.

Analysis of observational data indicated that isobar lines of the atmospheric pressure disturbances had angles of 75–83◦ counterclockwise due east and propagated with a velocity of 26.5–31.0 m/s. The generation and propagation process of the meteotsunami was investigated using the Regional Ocean Modeling System. The long ocean waves were amplified due to Proudman resonance in the southwestern Yellow Sea, where the water is deeper than 75 m; here, the long ocean waves were refracted toward the coast on the shallow coastal region of the northern Korea Citation: Kwon, K.; Choi, B.-J.; Strait. Refraction and reflection by offshore islands significantly affect the wave heights at the Myoung, S.-G.; Sim, H.-S.

The Dispute and Related Developments While the Treaty on Basic Relations between Japan and the Republic of Korea and other related agreements signed in Tokyo on June 22, 1965 marked the settlement of many of the bilateral concerns that had troubled bilateral relations during the preceding fourteen years, no satisfactory agreement was reached on the question of sovereignty over Takeshima. Consequently, resolution of this thorny dispute was carried over to the future. The Japanese government initially advocated for a comprehensive settlement of bilateral issues, including the Takeshima dispute, and took the position that it was impossible for bilateral negotiations with South Korea to reach a settlement without the resolution of the Takeshima problem. In light of the fact that South Korea has occupied Takeshima since 1954 through the use of force, the position taken by the Japanese government on this specific issue was certainly appropriate, as it would have been difficult to expect that a reasonable resolution could be pursued once the Treaty had been formally signed.
