Nan Do or Al Som is an islet off the east coast of North Korea . It is white and barren. It lies about 11.3 miles east of Yujin Dan.
History [ edit ]
American whaleships cruised for right whales off the islet between 1849 and 1888. They called it White Rock .[1] [2]
During the Korean War, the United States Eighth Army used the islet as a base for guerrilla operations off the coast of Wonsan . It served as a headquarters for some operations due to its height, which made it useful for radio frequencies.[3] [4]
