  • I think this place is really historical
  • why is the sea around it black and rooty
  • Dodo, looks like a delta area. Probably soot/mud building up and coming close to or breaking the surface.
  • i lived on kang hwa island for two years doing tuberculosis work with the peace corps from 1973 - 1975; waters are deep blue but 16 foot tidal change, 2nd greatest in world - low tide means expnases of exposed "muddy" ocean floor.
