I took this at the New Dora Observatory, along the DMZ in South Korea. The original Dora Observatory, which this one replaces, was just a few yards from the bus. They asked us not to photograph it because it is part of an active military installation. The line you can see going through the image is the South Korean side of the DMZ.

U.S. soldier believed to be in North Korean custody after straying over border

WASHINGTON — A troubled U.S. soldier stationed in South Korea who was being sent home joined a group of tourists at the airport who were headed for the demilitarized zone, where he "bolted" across the border into North Korea, a senior administration official told NBC News on Monday.

"Slicing across the entire peninsula, the DMZ includes a range of environments from rocky mountains to rivers and tidal swamps.

Away from landmines buried beneath the border zone’s soil, otters and endangered Manchurian trout swim freely in the Imjin river which flows from North to #SouthKorea."

It may be difficult for us to visit the now-demilitarized zone, but Google is offering us a free tour to the landscape through its Street View service.
