The Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) is a strip of land running across the Korean Peninsula that serves as a buffer zone between North Korea and South Korea. There are no troops in the DMZ itself, although both sides of the 2.5-mile strip of land separating the Koreas are the most heavily armed in the world. The DMZ is littered with scores of mines and barbed-wire fences.

Our trip to the DMZ included several stops, the Freedom Bridge, the 3rd Infiltration Tunnel, Imjingak Park, and the Dora Observatory. It was a very informative day and I learned a lot about the Korean conflict.
