The DMZ, Panmunjom & the Joint Security Area — Korea's Divided Border

The Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) — the 4-kilometre-wide, 248-kilometre-long buffer zone separating North and South Korea, established by the Korean Armistice Agreement of July 27, 1953, which ended the active fighting of the Korean War (1950-1953) without a formal peace treaty — is one of the most heavily militarised borders in the world and one of the most historically significant sites in the Asia-Pacific region, accessible on organized tours from Seoul (approximately 55 kilometres to the south).
