Korean Demilitarized Zone The Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) is
an area of land 4 kilometers-wide strip of land straddling the 151 mile
long Military Demarcation Line The opposing sides agreed under the
Armistice Agreement from entering the territory, air space or
contiguous waters under control of the other. Even though North Korea
has committed violations at sea and in the air, and has infiltrated
armed agents along South Korea’s extensive coastline and outlying
islands, it is in and along the DMZ that most Armistice violations have
occurred.Home to some 2 million soldiers, the DMZ is the world's most
heavily fortified border.These pictures by Mike Stone are from the
