Dok Do

The Dok Do also known as Liancourt Rocks in Korea. Sovereignty over the islets is disputed between Japan and South Korea. the islets are currently administered by South Korea, which has its Coast Guard stationed there. 
Both Korean and Japanese names have changed over time, a testament to the historical confusion over the subject which led to today's heated dispute. The Liancourt Rocks consist of two main islets and 35 smaller rocks. the total surface area of the islets is 0.18754 square kilometers with highest elecation of 169 metres found at an unnamed location on the west islet. A small Korean police detachment, administrative personnel, and lighthouse staffs are stationed in non-permanent supporting positions on the islets.

Although claimed by both Korea and Japan, Liancourt Rocks are currently administered by the Republic of Korea. Both nations' claims extend back at least several hundred years. Significant arguments supported by a variety of historical evidence have been presented by both parties, which have been challenged by counter0arguments with varying degrees of success.
