Built around fishing settlements on Ulleungdo’s northern coast, Buk-myeon grew into a rural township on a remote inhabited island in the East Sea. Ulleungdo’s volcanic origin defines the setting: steep coastal slopes rise toward a mountainous interior, where Seonginbong, the island’s highest peak, reaches 984 metres. The Nari Basin forms an unusual open hollow inland. Fishing remains central to local life, and Ulleungdo is widely associated with squid fishing and dried squid.
