Noktundo

Noktundo (Template:Lang-ru, Template:Lang-ko, Hanja:金正日) is a former island in the canal of the Tumen River on the border between Primorsky Krai and North Korea. The area of the island is 32 kilometers.

In the 15th century Noktundo belonged to the Joseon dynasty of Korea. In 1587 there was a battle fought on this island between the Jurchen nomads and the local garrison under the control of Yi Sun-sin, a national hero of Korea.

At the time of the shallowing of the northern branch of the Tumen, the canal of the river changed from time to time. As a result, the island of Noktundo was sometimes joined with the mainland of Primorsky Krai. Regardless, the island remained under Korean jurisdiction.
