Foreign visitors touring the South Korean DMZ may view inside this tunnel using a sloped access shaft.
Fourth tunnel
A fourth tunnel was discovered on March 3, 1990 north of Haen town in the former Punchbowl battlefield.
The tunnel's dimensions are 2m x 2m and it is 145m underground, the method of construction is almost identical in structure to the second and the third tunnels.
Both North and South Korea maintain peace villages in sight of each other's side of the DMZ.
In the South, Daeseong-dong is administered under the terms of the DMZ.
Villagers are classed as Republic of Korea citizens, however they are exempt from paying tax and other civic requirements such as military service.
In the North, Kijong-dong features a number of brightly painted, poured-concrete multi-story buildings and apartments with electric lighting.
These features represented an unheard of level of luxury for rural Koreans, north or south, in the 1950s.
The town was oriented so that the bright blue roofs and white sides of the buildings would be the most distinguishing features when viewed from the border.
However scrutiny with modern telescopic lenses reveals that the buildings are mere concrete shells lacking window glass or even interior rooms, with the building lights turned on and off at set times and the empty sidewalks swept by a skeleton crew of caretakers in an effort to preserve the illusion of activity.
Within the JSA are a number of U.N. buildings called Conference Row these are used for direct talks between the two Koreas.
Facing the UN buildings is DPRK's Panmungak () and ROK's Freedom House.
In 1994, North Korea enlarged Panmungak by adding a third floor.
In 1998, South Korea built a new Freedom House for its Red Cross staff and to possibly host reunions of families separated by the Korean War.
The new building incorporated the old Freedom House Pagoda within its design.
In the 1980s, the South Korean government built a  flagpole in the village of Daeseong-dong.
The North Korean government responded by building a taller one — the tallest in the world at  in Kijong-dong.
Korean wall
The Korean wall is a concrete barrier that was allegedly built along the length of the DMZ in South Korea between 1977 and 1979.
Dutch journalist and filmmaker Peter Tetteroo shows footage of what he believes (at the prompting of his North Korean guides) to be the Korean Wall.
North Korea contends:
In the area south of the Military Demarcation Line, which cuts across our country at its waist, there is a concrete wall which [...] stretches more than  from east to west, is  high,  thick at the bottom, and  wide in the upper part.
It is set with wire entanglements and dotted with gun embrasures, look-outs and varieties of military establishments [...] the South Korean rulers built this wall over a period of many years from 1977.
In December 1999, Chu Chang Jun, North Korea's longtime ambassador to China, repeated claims that a "wall" divided Korea.
He said the south side of the wall is packed with soil, which permits access to the top of the wall and makes it effectively invisible from the south side.
He also claimed that it served as a bridgehead for any northward invasion.
One clarification in 2007, from an assistant of Mr. Cho at the Korean embassy in WDC, that this is mostly, or at least partly, an artificial cliff cut into the north side of the terrain, and explains this combination semantic and 'blind-men & elephant' issue.
At the security passage between the North & South, it is easy to manage the contours and make the cliff invisible from the limited points of view allowed within the security compound.
None of the plausible descriptions from the North, South, or USA, contradicts this explanation of the appearance or function of this at least partly one-sided wall.
Panmunjeom is the site where the negotiations that ended the Korean War took place.
It is the main centre of human activity in the DMZ today.
The village is located on the main highway and near a railroad connecting the two Koreas.
The railway, which connects Seoul and Pyongyang, was called the Gyeongui Line before Korea was divided in the 1940s.
Currently the South uses the original name, but the North refers to the route as the P'yŏngbu Line.
Today, the railway is mainly used to carry materials to the industrial complexes at Kaesong.
South Korea workers also use it to commute there.
When it was reopened in the early 2000s, this was seen as a sign that the relations between both countries were improving.
However in November 2008 North Korean authorities closed the railway because of growing tensions with the South.
When former South-Korean president Kim Dae-jung had died, a delegation from North Korea also attended his funeral.
On that occasion, talks were held with South Korean officials.
In September 2009, the Kaesong rail and road crossings were reopened.
The road at Panmunjeom, which was known historically as Highway One in the South, was originally the only access point between the two countries on the Korean Peninsula.
Passage is comparable to the strict movements that occurred at Checkpoint Charlie in Berlin at the height of the Cold War.
Both North and South Korea's roads end in the Joint Security Area; neither highway meets because there is a  concrete line that divides the entire site.
People given the permission to cross this border must do so on foot before continuing their journey by road.
In 2007, on the east coast of Korea, the first train crossed the DMZ on the new Donghae Bukbu (Tonghae Pukpu) Line.
The new rail crossing was built next to the road which took South Koreans to Kŭmgangsan, a region that has significant cultural importance for all Koreans.
More than one million civilian visitors crossed the DMZ until the route was closed after a 53-year-old South Korean tourist was shot in July 2008.
The North Korean government did not want that both police forces investigate the shooting together, so the South Korean government stopped offering tours to the resort.
Since then the resort, and the Donghae Bukbu Line have effectively been closed by the North.
In the past half century, the Korean DMZ has been a deadly place for humans, making habitation impossible.
Only around the village of Panmunjeom and more recently the Dong Bukbu Line on Korea's east coast have there been regular incursions by people.
This natural isolation along the  length of the DMZ has created an involuntary park which is now recognised as one of the most well-preserved areas of temperate habitat in the world.
Several endangered animal and plant species now exist among the heavily fortified fences, landmines and listening posts.
These include the extremely rare Red-crowned Crane (a staple of Asian art), and the White-naped crane as well as, potentially, the extremely rare Korean Tiger, Amur leopard and Asiatic black bear.
Ecologists have identified some 2,900 plant species, 70 types of mammals and 320 kinds of birds within the narrow buffer zone.
Additional surveys are now being conducted throughout the region.
The DMZ owes its varied biodiversity to its geography which crosses mountains, prairies, swamps, lakes and tidal marshes.
Environmentalists hope that by the time reunification occurs, the former DMZ will be conserved as a wildlife refuge, with a well-developed set of objective and management plans vetted and in place.
In 2005, CNN founder and media mogul, Ted Turner, on a visit to North Korea, said that he would financially support any plans to turn the DMZ into a peace park and a UN-protected World Heritage Site.
Escapees from North Korea
Since trying to cross the DMZ is extremely dangerous, most North Korean defectors, or people who leave their home country to join an new country in a way the first country claims to be illegal, begin their escape through the border with China.
This is because the Chinese-North Korean border is much less heavily guarded, although crossing the Chinese border is not without risks.
However, there have been some escapees who have escaped by crossing the DMZ.
Most of these people who successfully crossed the DMZ were North Korean soldiers who already had some knowledge of the area.
Of the 33,000 North Korean defectors, only 21 North Korean soldiers crossed the DMZ and lived since the North Korean famine in 1996.

Captain Robert Falcon Scott CVO, RN (6 June 1868 – 29 March 1912) was an English Royal Navy officer and explorer who died on an expedition to the South Pole.
He is widely known as Scott of the Antarctic, the title of a 1948 movie.
It was the chance for personal distinction that led Scott to apply for command of the Discovery.
His name became associated with the Antarctic, his field of work for the final twelve years of his life.
Terra Nova Expedition 1910–1913
During this second venture, Scott led a party of five which reached the South Pole on 17 January 1912, only to find that Roald Amundsen's Norwegian expedition had got there first.
On the return journey, Scott and his four comrades died from exhaustion, starvation and extreme cold.
The tragic fate of his expedition is still remembered throughout the world.
Scott's leadership
After his death, Scott became a British hero.
His reputation suffered from several books written later in the 20th century.
Still later, Scott's record was reviewed more favourably.
The main cause of the failure  of the expedition is now said to be the exceptionally adverse weather at the end of the return from the pole.
Scott took ponies, motorised sleds and ordinary sleds, which he and his men pulled.
He thought that the number of animals overworked and killed should be held as low as possible and considered his rival Roald Amundsen's approach as cruel.
Amundsen, on the other hand, killed dog after dog to feed himself, the men and the rest of the dogs.
He did not feel bad about it.
The ponies helped travelling part of the way to the pole, but some of them were so stubborn that the expedition members, especially Lawrence Oates, lost much energy that was needed to get back from the pole.
The motorised sleds (which worked well at the start) eventually froze up.
The dogs, of which there 36, were left behind on the final attempt on the Pole.
One factor which has been re-discovered is that Scott gave the dog driver Meares  written orders before leaving for the final attempt on the pole.
The order was for dogs to be brought up towards the returning party.
This order was supplemented by Scott asking Atkinson to make a similar attempt (Atkinson was one of those not chosen for the final attempt group).
In the event, neither of these actions took place.

The standard state is a common way for measuring properties of chemicals.
Standard state normally is room temperature (25°C) and normal atmospheric pressure (14.7 psi).
Normally when no temperature or pressure is given, standard state is implied.
If an article says "bromine is a liquid" it means bromine is a liquid in the standard state.
Tellurium trioxide, also known as tellurium(VI) oxide is a chemical compound.
Its chemical formula is TeO3.
It contains tellurium and oxide ions.
It contains tellurium in its +6 oxidation state.
Tellurium trioxide can come in two forms.
There is a yellow-red form and a gray form.
The yellow red form is more reactive.
It reacts with strong bases to make tellurates.
It releases oxygen to turn into tellurium dioxide when heated.
It is made by taking the water from telluric acid.
The gray form can be made from this by reacting the yellow-red form with sulfuric acid and air.
The Sons of Liberty were a group of people in Boston at the time of the American Revolution.
They were led by Samuel Adams, James Otis, and Paul Revere.
Other well-known members included Benedict Arnold and Patrick Henry.
They were in favor of rights of colonial Americans, which meant they often did not like the British.
Some people thought the Sons of Liberty were a mob.
The Sons of Liberty were the main group involved in the Boston Massacre and the Boston Tea Party.
They also participated in the Stamp Act.

The minimum efficient scale (MES) is the smallest output that an industrial plant (or firm) can produce such that its long run average costs are minimised.
The size of MES relative to market demand curve has a strong influence on market structure.
It can also be defined as the minimum point in U-shaped long run average cost curve.

Tellurite is an ion.
Its chemical formula is TeO32-.
They are some of the more stable tellurium compounds.
In slightly acidic conditions, it makes hydrogen tellurite, HTeO3-.
When it is very acidic, it makes tellurous acid.
They are normally made by reacting tellurium dioxide with a metal oxide.
Tellurite is also a rare mineral.
This mineral consists of tellurium dioxide.
It is a yellow to white mineral.
It is in areas that tend to oxidize minerals (oxidation zone).
Otherwise telluride or native tellurium would be there.

is a Japanese prefecture in the Kantō region on the island of Honshu.
The capital city is Chiba City.
Chiba borders Ibaraki Prefecture to the north at the Tone River, Tokyo and Saitama Prefecture to the west at the Edo River, the Pacific Ocean to the east and Tokyo Bay around its southern boundary.
Most of Chiba lies on the hilly Bōsō Peninsula, a rice farming region: the east coast, known as the Ninety-Nine League Plain, is an especially productive area.
The most populous zone, in the northwest of the prefecture, is part of the Kantō region that extends into the urban agglomeration of Tokyo and Saitama.
The Kuroshio Current flows near Chiba, which keeps it relatively warm in winter and cooler in summer than neighbouring Tokyo.
Chiba is one of Japan's biggest industrial areas.
This is because it has a long coastline on Tokyo Bay.
Chiba was chosen as the place for a major Kawasaki Steel factory in 1950.
The prefectural government started a very big land reclamation program.
They filled in the water areas to make big, new waterfront properties for factories, warehouses, and docks.
Chemical production, petrochemical refining, and machine production are the three main industries in Chiba.
They are 45% of Chiba's exports.
In recent years, the government has given more than eighty industrial parks money.
This is to bring development further inland.
Chiba also has the second-highest farming output in Japan.
Only Hokkaidō makes more farm products.
Chiba makes more vegetables than Hokkaidō.
Seaweed is harvested in big amounts from Tokyo Bay.

The challenge to the system of government
During the period of the martial law (1981 - 1983) the Catholic Church was the  only force that could have a certain possibility of criticism, through the preachings during the celebration of the masses.
He was initially threatened and invited to the silence by the Polish ministry of the interior.
On 13 October 1984 he was involved in a traffic accident from which however he went out whole.

Gloria María Milagrosa Fajardo García de Estefan, known mostly as Gloria Estefan (born September 1, 1957) is a Cuban-born American singer, songwriter, actress and entrepreneur.
She is known as the "Queen Of Latin Pop".
Estefan has won multiple Grammy Awards.
The singer was a member of Miami Sound Machine in the 1980s.
She is in the top 100 best selling music artists with over 100 million albums sold worldwide.
Currently, she is the most successful crossover performer in Latin music.
She was born Gloria Fajardo on September 1, 1957, in Havana, Cuba.
As a toddler, Estefan fled Cuba with her family when Communist dictator Fidel Castro rose to power.
Her father, Jose Manuel Fajardo, had been a Cuban soldier and bodyguard of former President Fulgencio Batista.
Her maternal grandfather, Leonardo García, immigrated to Cuba from Pola de Siero, Asturias, Spain.
He married Gloria's maternal grandmother in Pola de Siero, Asturias, Spain.
Her maternal grandmother is originally from Logroño, Spain.
After coming to the United States, Fajardo was recruited into the 2506 Brigade, a Central Intelligence Agency-funded band of Cuban refugees that was involved in the unsuccessful 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion.
After President John F. Kennedy negotiated the release of the captured soldiers, Fajardo rejoined his family.
He eventually joined the U.S. Army and served for two years in Vietnam.
As a child Estefan liked to write poetry, and though she took classical guitar lessons, she found them tedious.
She had no idea that she would some day become a popular music star, but music played a very important role for her as a teenager.
After her father's return from Vietnam, he was diagnosed as having multiple sclerosis, possibly as a result of having been exposed to the herbicide Agent Orange while serving in the army.
Estefan's mother, who had been a teacher in Cuba, worked to support the family during the day and attended school at night.
Young Gloria was left to take care of her father and younger sister.
She had little social life, and because she felt the weight of such responsibilities she turned to music as a release.
"When my father was ill, music was my escape," Estefan told Washington Post reporter Richard Harrington. "
I would lock myself up in my room for hours and just sing.
I wouldn't cry—I refused to cry...Music was the only way I had to just let go, so I sang for fun and for emotional catharsis."

Cerebral palsy (CP) is the name given to a number of motor problems (trouble moving the body).
CP is usually caused by damage done to the brain during early childhood.
It is called "cerebral palsy" because the part of the brain that is damaged is the cerebrum.
CP cannot be cured.
It is treated with therapies.
There are several types of cerebral palsy.
The most common type is spastic cerebral palsy.
People with CP often have trouble standing or walking.
They may also be partly paralysed.
Most people with cerebral palsy live for as long as people without CP.
5-10% of children with CP die before growing up.
Over time, the way to take care of cerebral palsy has changed from fixing a person's physical problems such as spasticity in one leg or arm.
Now, the way to take care of cerebral palsy is about making therapies for the body part of a larger purpose of making the person's quality of life better, helping them have choice and make their own decisions about looking after themselves, and helping them be part of society.
Much of children's therapy is about helping them walk better.
Roughly 60% of people with CP are able to walk by themselves or with mobility aids when they become grown up.

Peter Clay Carroll (born September 15, 1951, in San Francisco, California) is the head coach and of the Seattle Seahawks, a National Football League team.
He used to coach for the New York Jets, New England Patriots and the University of Southern California football team.
In his time at USC, the Trojans went to two BCS Bowl games, winning the National Championship in 2004 and winning the Pacific-10 Conference football title seven  years in a row from 2002 to 2008.
The 2004 BCS title was taken away from the team in 2010, but USC kept its 2003 and 2004 AP National Championships.
Carroll went to Redwood High School in  Larkspur, California.
Carroll played in three sports: football (playing quarterback, wide receiver and defensive back), basketball and baseball.
Carroll won the school's Athlete of the Year award in 1969.
After high school, Carroll went to junior college (a two-year college) at College of Marin, where he played football for two years before changing schools to the University of the Pacific.
At Pacific, Carroll played the free safety position for two years.
After graduation, Carroll tried out for the Honolulu Hawaiians of the World Football League, but did not make the team because of shoulder problems.
To make money, he found a job selling roofing materials in the Bay Area, but he found he was not good at it and soon moved on; it would be his only non-football-related job.

A religious belief is a strong belief in a supernatural power or powers that control human destiny.
Religious beliefs often are about the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe and involve devotion, ritual practices and rules which must be followed.
Polychlorinated biphenyls (often shortened to PCBs) are organic chemical compounds that contain chlorine atoms.
They were used in industrial chemistry, and to make certain transformers, capacitors, and cooling fluids.
The Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants declared them to be among the worst chemical pollutants.
Their use has been banned worldwide, since 2001.
The mode of action of these substances is similar to that of dioxin.
Polychlorinated biphenyls were widely used, and they can be found in the atmosphere, the soil, and the bodies of water anywhere on the earth.
In the short term, these substances are not very toxic, but they accumulate in the body.
They are teratogens, and may cause cancer.
A teratogen is a material that can cause congenital defects.
Some things can be teratogens, including some chemicals, medications, and infectious diseases.
About 75% of all congenital disfectants are caused by teratogens.p.
23-3
Types of teratogens
Alcohol and illegal drugs
Alcohol is the most common cause of congenital disorders that can be prevented.
Alcohol is poisonous to a fetus and can cause brain damage.
Drinking alcohol while pregnant can cause the fetus to get fetal alcohol syndrome.
Illegal drugs, like heroin and cocaine, are also poisonous to the fetus and can cause many different congenital problems.
For example, cocaine use during pregnancy can cause microcephaly (a smaller head size than usual) and problems with the way the fetus's urinary system and genitals grow.
Some medications can also hurt the fetus if its mother takes them while she is pregnant.
For example:p.
Lithium carbonate (used to treat bipolar disorder) can cause problems in the way the fetus's heart grows
Phenytoin and valproic acid (anti-seizure medications) can cause intellectual disability, microcephaly, and many other problems in fetuses
Warfarin (a blood-thinning medication) can cause problems with the fetus's central nervous system, including intellectual disability
ACE inhibitors (a group of medications for high blood pressure) can cause problems with the fetus's kidneys
Before the 1960s, many countries did not have rules about testing medications for their effects on fetuses.
This changed partly because of thalidomide.
This medication was given to pregnant women for nausea in the 1950s and 1960s.
Between 1956 and 1962, more than 10,000 children in 46 different countries were born with birth defects, like arms and legs that had not grown.
Thalidomide had not been tested well enough before it started being prescribed.
Now, many countries require more testing before a medication can be said to be safe during pregnancy.
If a woman gets an infection while she is pregnant, sometimes the infection can affect her fetus.
The placenta protects the fetus from many different viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens that cause infections.
However, some pathogens can get through the placenta and infect the fetus.
Some of these infections can cause birth defects.
Rubella (German measles)
Some chemicals can cause birth defects, if a pregnant woman is exposed to enough of them.
Lead: If a woman ever had lead poisoning, she can pass lead on to her fetus, even if she is not exposed to lead while she is pregnant.
This happens because most lead is stored in a person's bones and can come out into the bloodstream many years later.
Lead can cause miscarriage and stillbirth as well as birth defects.
Mercury: High levels of mercury can cause brain damage in fetuses.
High levels of ionizing radiation can cause birth defects.p.
23-8
Things that are not teratogens
Spermicides (these were suspected of causing birth defects in the 1970s and 1980s, but they have been proven to be safe)
Acetaminophen (paracetamol)
Prenatal vitamins
Non-ionizing radiation.
This is the type of radiation that comes from sunlight and microwave ovens.
It does not cause birth defects.
In a group of hills or mountains, a pass is a path for crossing a mountain.
It is usually a saddle point between two higher areas.
Many of the world's mountain ranges have always made travel difficult so passes have been important throughout history in trade, war and migration.
A pass has the general form of a saddle between two mountains.
They are often found just above the source of a river, making a sort of "bridge" over to the headwaters of another river.
Passes may be very short, with steep slopes to the top of the pass, or valleys of many kilometers.
Roads and railways have been built through passes.
Some high and rugged passes may have tunnels dug underneath to let traffic move faster.
The top of a pass is often the only flat ground in the area so it is often a good site for buildings.
For countries whose borders lie on a mountain range, the pass is often part of the border.
As well as making travel easy between valleys, passes also provide a route between two mountain tops so it is common for tracks to meet at a pass; this often makes them good routes even when travelling between a summit and the valley floor.
Some of the best known passes are Great St. Bernard Pass at  in the Alps, the Khyber Pass at  between Afghanistan and Pakistan, and the Khardong La Pass at  in Jammu and Kashmir, India.

Aromatherapy is a type of alternative medicine that uses the part of plants known as essential oils.
Some people think that aromatherapy helps to change a person's mind, mood or health but this has not been proven scientifically.
Some essential oils like tea tree do have an anti-microbial effect, so they may be useful for the treatment of infections.
Evidence that aromatherapy works in treating disease and other conditions is poor.

Sodium tellurate
Telluride is an ion.
Chemical compounds containing this ion are called tellurides.
Examples are sodium telluride and hydrogen telluride.
The chemical formula is Te2-.
Tellurides are strong reducing agents.
Some tellurides are impure, making them weaker reducing agents.
Tellurides are the main source of tellurium in the ground.
It only exists at very high pH. At lower pH's, hydrogen telluride, HTe-, is made.
When it is acidic (very low pH), hydrogen telluride gas is made.
Tellurate is an ion.
Its chemical formula is TeO42- or TeO66-.
Chemical compounds having the tellurate ion in them are called tellurates.
Tellurates are strong oxidizing agents.
They are similar to selenates.
Tellurates react with acids to make telluric acid.
An example is sodium tellurate (Na2TeO4).
It is made by reacting telluric acid with sodium hydroxide.
It can also be made by oxidizing sodium tellurite.
It is similar to sodium selenate.
Hydrogen telluride, also known as hydrotelluric acid, tellane, or tellurium hydride, is a chemical compound.
Its chemical formula is H2Te.
It contains hydrogen and telluride ions.
Hydrogen telluride is a toxic reactive gas.
It easily decomposes to hydrogen and tellurium.
It also burns in air to make tellurium dioxide and water.
