About DMZ
The demilitarized zone separating North and South Korea represents the world's most fortified border, yet paradoxically protects rare wildlife in this untouched buffer zone. Joint security areas allow carefully supervised civilian visits to this tense geopolitical frontier where nature thrives despite militarization. It is simultaneously beautiful and unsettling, serene and loaded with tension.
