Strange Trimming on Google Earth around Ulluengdo.
Ulleungdo on google earth, there are no image of Jukdo(Boussole
rock/Usando) and Gwaneumdo(small
Usando)
because of crouded. See this image below;.
Next ,check other satellite images, e.g. Windows virtual Earth.
There are Ulluengdo and Jukdo(Boussole Rock/Usando) on northeast of Ulleungdo.
We can say the position of crowd is same on Google Earth and Windows virtual Earth, that is to say, those are from same data ,except Jukdo.
(It is appeart that Google earth deletes Jukdo(Boussole rock/Usando)
Those
two Satellite image data above are from LandSat data,
dated on 29th of Sep,1999.(mary land univ)
040-584 2:113/034 1999.09.29 ETM+ EarthSat (Maryland
Univ website)
(The output image of Landsat data
on Kashmir)
Completely same with Microsoft Virtual Earth,
the position of crowd and Jukdo.
And almost same with Google earth except Jukdo part.(Google earth delete Jukdo)
There are another Ulleungdo
image of LandSat ETM+ data, dated on 8th
of April,2000,
There are clear image without any crowd, which has Ulluengdo’s adjunctive islands of Jukdo(Usando/Boussole Rock) and Gwaneumdo.

(The image below are LandSat data
dated on 8th of April 2000 ,plot on Kashimir)
I feel something strange smell that Google intentionally
hide this two adjunctive islands of UsandoJukdo(Bossole Rock).
