Bamseom, River island in Han River, Seoul, South Korea
Two sandy islets situated between Yeouido Island and the north shore of Han River span over 1,147 meters with diverse plant communities.
The island supported 400 residents and 80 households until 1968, when authorities detonated it to gather materials for Yeouido embankment development.
During the Joseon Dynasty, the painter Sim Sajeong included the island in his collection of eight notable landscapes of the capital region.
Six observation platforms around the perimeter enable visitors to observe migratory birds and wetland ecosystems during winter months.
Natural sediment accumulation has expanded the island sixfold since 1968, growing approximately 4,400 square meters annually.
