The Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) 1998
Description: The Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) is a 160-mile buffer separating North and South Korea, established at the end of the Korean War in 1953.
Despite its name, it is one of the most heavily fortified borders in the world, with thousands of troops and extensive defenses on both sides.
Today, the DMZ also acts as an unintended wildlife refuge and remains a powerful symbol of ongoing political tension on the Korean Peninsula.
