Found this Web site for the Panmunjom Travel Center, which has info about the DMZ and tours. Also has some interesting info (and photos) on the North Korean tunnels.
"Measuring two meters high and 2.1-2.2 meters wide, the arch-shaped tunnel--large enough to move such heavy weapons as tanks, field artillery and armored personnel carriers--is capable of letting pass 30,000 troops moving three to four abreast, or a division strength, per hour. Bored through 3.5 kilometers of bedrock at a depth of 50-160 meters from ground surface, Tunnel Ⅱ intrudes 1.1 kilometers south of the Military Demarcation Line at a point 101 kilometers from Seoul. A spacious troop assembly area was carved out in the tunnel, which has three exits."
Bored through bedrock and large enough to move tanks!
The random and not-so-random thoughts of a Korean-American, 30-something copy editor as she rambles and babbles through life, enforcing rules of punctuation, grammar and capitalization.
