Narrative

The island appears like a horse's hoof. There is a ditch covered with snow for the entire year on the island, dividing the exposed rock into 3 parts. Only 3 highlands appear when the tide comes, but when the tide ebbs, the true colors of the whole island appear, making the landscape look magnificent. It was named when surveying and mapping in 1993.
