Socotra Rock, also known as Ieodo () or sometimes Parangdo (),〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=파랑도 )〕 is a submerged rock 4.6 metres (15 ft) below sea level (at low tide) located in the Yellow Sea. International maritime law stipulates that a submerged rock outside of a nation's territorial sea (generally 12 nautical miles) can't be claimed as territory by any nation. However, the rock is the subject of a maritime dispute between South Korea, China and even Japan, which considers it to lie within its exclusive economic zone. And China refers to it as Suyan Rock (),which means the rock（岩,yán) or reef(礁,jiāo) outside the coastal waters of Jiangsu(苏,sū,the abbreviation）, while Japan refers it as "''Sogan Rock''". In fact, both China and Japan use Suyan/Sogan Islet for its English name.〔( 中国国情·热词·苏岩礁 ).2012-03-13. http://www.china.com.cn. Retrieved 2015-11-15〕 The rock is located southwest of Marado (just off Jeju island) in Korea. For China, Yushan Island of Zhejiang, is away from the rock. The rock serves as the foundation for Korean Ieodo Ocean Research Station. A Korean helipad is also located there to allow the research station to be serviced. ==History== Both "Parangdo" and "Ieodo" are names for the mythical island which the residents of Jeju island believed housed the spirits of fishermen who perished at sea. The South Korean government has asserted a direct connection between these legends and the modern-day rock, claiming that the traditional saying that "One who sees Parangdo would never return" refers to the danger facing sailors when high waves allow the rock to break the surface.〔 Korean even name the studies about Ieodo as "Ieodology".〔张良福:《聚焦中国海疆·话说苏岩礁》,Page 255,ISBN 978-7-5027-8578-9〕 Socotra Rock's Korean name was officially designated as "Ieodo" on January 26, 2001, by the Korea Institute of Geology. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Socotra Rock」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
