Korean Demilitarized Zone
The photograph depicts military officers from both North and South Korea stationed at the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), a strip of land running across the Korean Peninsula. Established by the provisions of the Korean Armistice Agreement, the DMZ serves as a buffer zone that separates North Korea and South Korea.
This demilitarized area effectively divides the Korean Peninsula into two distinct regions. Notably, access to the DMZ is restricted and only granted by North Korea or the United Nations Command, making it an area off-limits to the general public. The presence of military personnel from both nations at this highly sensitive location underscores the tense and heavily fortified nature of the border between North and South Korea.
