- The island of Quelpart lies some fifty miles off the southern coast of the Korean mainland, but only thirty from the outer edge of the line of islands that fringe the coast of the peninsula. It ism in all probability, geologically one with the range of mountains which forms the backbone of Korea, and which finally sinks beneath the waters of the sea off its southern coast.
