Our group is so surprised and happy to witness such a unique event that they forget their queasiness caused by the rough sea. In the minds of all Ilan residents, Turtle Mountain Island is a "spirit turtle." Its mouth can spurt smoke (" Turtle Island sulfur smoke "), its tail can shake (" the spirit turtle shaking its tail"), and its claws on both sides can paddle.
在宜蘭人心目中，這尾「神龜」不但嘴巴會吐煙──「龜島磺煙」、尾巴會擺動──「靈龜擺尾」，左右兩側還有會滑水的龜爪，簡直就像是一個「活的島嶼」。
