Joint Security Area (JSA)
The JSA is where all negotiations since 1953 have been held, which in general have done little more than eased tensions between the two nations slightly. The border line (MDL) goes through the conference rooms and through the of the conference table where the North Koreans and the United Nations Command - mainly made up of South Koreans and Americans - meet face to face.
Third Tunnel (DMZ)
The North and South are still technically at war and have been since the Korean war - only a cease-fire agreement was reached. The Demilitarized zone (DMZ) is a mass of land between the north and south spanning 2 kilometers that civilians are prohibited from entering. It is the third discovered tunnel that the North has drilled in secret to try and invade the South. It is believed that there may be several other, as of yet undiscovered tunnels running through the DMZ.
