Introduction
The name 'Someori' or 'Cow's head' in English, takes after the shape of the island. Located about 3.8km far from Seongsanhang Port of Seogwipo-si, Jeju, Someori Oreum is found at the southernmost tip of this Udo Island, known as Cow Island thanks to its shape, resembling that of a cow lying down. Seongsanhang Port is the only outlet for visitors from outside and the island's residents to travel to and from, and it takes about 15 minutes by ferry
According to experts, various land formations and continuous volcanic activity caused the island to rise off the coast of Jeju Island some hundreds of years ago, and the aftermath of this is still visible throughout the island. The scale of the beach area is constantly decreasing due to repeated cycles of coastal erosion, therefore creating multiple sea caves, cliffs and more impressive works of nature.
The island is not entirely formed of rocky soil but also exhibits some limited areas of farms, meadows and forests filled with cedar and other evergreen trees fit for the environment.
