Dudo
Seo District, South Korea
Dudo is a small rocky island in Annam-dong, Seo District, Busan, South Korea. It was designated as a park on December 20, 1972. It is located just south of Annam Park. The island was possibly previously called Meoriseom (lit. 'head island') or Daegariseom (lit. 'head island'); the origin of these names is uncertain. It has a height of 59 m (194 ft), and an area of 19,080 m2 (205, 400 ft2). The island has sheer cliffs and is very rocky and rugged. It has over a dozen large sea caves on its sides. On its top are various trees. Archaeological excavations have found a large number of dinosaur fossils on the island. There is an unmanned lighthouse on the island. The island is reportedly popular for fishing. In 2022, plans were announced for a bridge to be constructed between the island and the mainland. Concurrently, a trail would be constructed around the island that would connect to a trail on the mainland.
