• It runs 248 kilometers across the Korean Peninsula and is 4km wide.
• The zone is jointly overseen by the US-led United Nations Command and North Korea.
• It is littered with an estimated 2 million mines, tank traps, razor wire fences and guard posts.
• Donald Trump and Kim Jong-Un met at a building in Panmunjom, where an armistice was signed to stop the Korean War.
• Panmunjom is 52km north of the Korean capital Seoul and 147km south of Pyongyang, North Korea’s capital.
