Global Korea Roundtable: Mapping North Korea Global Korea Roundtable: Mapping North Korea

While Western media and intelligence services struggle for any information about Kim Jong Il's "Hermit Kingdom," Curtis Melvin has used open-source materials and publicly available satellite imagery to compile an amazingly detailed map of the DPRK's political, economic, and military infrastructure. Join us as Melvin shows us how to use Google's free Earth software to "zoom in" on everything from No Dong missile pads to elite swimming pools to even a private yacht.
