		"Ulleungdo and Dokdo are unspoiled islands with unexplored land," said Heo Su-man, vice chief of Ulleung-gun county.
		Ulleungdo and Dokdo were identified as volcanic islands with sites of peculiar scenic beauty such as sea cliffs formed by coastal erosion, pillar-shaped joints and habitats for rare animals and plants.
		The survey shows that there are 31 species of birds, including fl wood pigeons and storm petrels, on Ulleungdo, and five species of birds, including the fl-tailed gull, on Dokdo islet, whose gull population was reported to have increased enough to cover the islets during the second quarter of the year.

		ULLEUNGDO, South Korea, March 16 (Yonhap) -- South Koreans should cope rationally with Japan's irrational desire to claim Dokdo, a set of rocky islets lying between the countries, a lifetime expert on the issue said on Wednesday.
		Located on Ulleungdo, some 90 kilometers west of Dokdo, Lee's museum is the only territorial museum in the country that collects and researches materials related to the islets.
		Lee stressed that Korea's King Kojong made a decree that put Dokdo under the jurisdiction of Ulleungdo, the closest island to the islets, in 1900, five years before Japan's Shimane Prefecture claimed sovereignty over Dokdo, which is called Takeshima ("Bamboo Island") in Japan.

	Flying Yangban: Korean History
		Here is the logic at work in the Korean position: (1) Ulleungdo is acknowledge by Japan as Korean territory and (2) the fate of Dokdo is tied to the fate of Ulleungdo, therefore (3) Japan should acknowledge that Dokdo is Korean.
		The Japanese decoupling of of Ulleungdo and Dokdo does not by itself undermine Korea's claim to the later islands, but it does mean that Korean arguments based on the assumption that what goes for Ulleungdo also goes for Dokdo do little to put the issue to rest.
		As the Japanese claims separate Dokdo from Ulleungdo, the Korean side needs to prove that Dokdo's fate is tied to that of Ulleungdo rather than assuming it.
