Borders and Neighbors The northern border with Russia is 19 km (12 mi) long, and follows the Tumen River northwest from its mouth. The border with China is 1,416 km (880 mi) long. Starting from where the Russian border ends, it follows the Tumen River to its headwaters (approx. 42°N 128°05'E); it then follows the Yalu (Amnok) River from its headwaters (approx. 42°N 128°05'E), southwest, to the Yellow Sea. The border between North and South Korea is the military demarcation line (MDL), that marks the line of separation between the two belligerent sides at the close of the Korean War. A demilitarized zone (DMZ) extends for 2 km (1.24 mi) on either side of the MDL and extends out to sea. Both the DPRK and CHINA RUSSIA Occupied by the Soviet Union in 1945, administered by Russia, claimed by Japan.

ROK governments hold that the MDL is only a temporary administrative line, not a permanent border. Korea's remaining borders are coastlines, generally following the peninsula, but in places the border leaves the peninsula to encompass islands and archipelagoes. Korea's closest sea-neighbors are Japan and China. The Japanese island of Tsushima is approximately 50 km (31 mi) off Korea's southeast coast (34°42'N 129°20'E), while the main island of Honshu is approximately 180 km (112 mi). The Shandong Peninsula of China is approximately 190 km (118 mi) to the west and bisects the Korean bay to the north and the Yellow Sea to the south. East Asia — Korean Peninsula Geography Korea's geographic position serves as a natural bridge between the Asian continent and the Japanese islands. The coastline is highly indented with approximately 3,500 islands, mostly located off the south and west coasts. Korea, though comparatively small in size, is noted for the extraordinary variety of its geography. The country is punctuated with rough mountains, large streams, and rugged narrow passes with only about 20 percent of the peninsula suitable for cultivation. Another factor is the shallowness of the Yellow Sea, contributing to the extreme tidal range (9.7 m (32 ft), the second largest in the world) on the west coast. Mountains The Korean Peninsula is primarily a region of mountains (approximately 70 percent) and they are the defining characteristics of the terrain. The mountains are generally of medium height, about 1,500 m (4,921 ft), with lower mountains 200-500 m (656-1,640 ft) high (all elevations of 2,000 m (6,600 ft) or more are found in North Korea). Relief differentials (as measured from valley floor to peak or ridge tops) for even the lowest mountains, are generally 300-400 m (980-1,300 ft). The elevated places are heavily bisected by river valleys, which frequently have deep narrow passes and canyons, with steep slopes or near vertical or vertical walls. Paektu-san, at 2,744 m (9,003 ft), is the highest moun- 12
