Since Dokdo is a small island, either of or on is acceptable.

Thank you for your help. What about using the preposition 'for'?

1. The temperature on Dokdo is around 12 degrees Celsius.

2. The temperature of Dokdo is around 12 degrees Celsius.

3. The temperature for Dokdo is around 12 degrees Celsius.

Are they all correct? Can we use 'round' or 'about' instead of 'around'?

All these sentences are fine.

"Round" is an adjective, while "around" is a preposition.
