"What once was the site of bloody armed conflict between the two Koreas has
become an unexpected wildlife sanctuary.

Wide plains, lush greenery and rare species of flora and fauna are thriving in
the peninsula's demilitarised zone (DMZ).

360-degree views of landscapes and life inside the civilian control line - the
buffer area outside the DMZ where civilian activities are restricted - have
been made available, for the first time, on Google Street View.

These pictures are part of a Google project marking 70 years since the 1953
armistice which saw North and South Korea pull back from the DMZ. It was
launched in collaboration with nine South Korea-based cultural institutions."
