After having abandoned an unfinished retractable radar site decades ago (the big hole), North Korea finally put up an early-warning radar system in 2019-21 west of Nampo. @ 38.739778° 125.260981° #AccessDPRK

Chilling in even a suburban backyard is something that holds so much. Watching the bees hang out a few inches above the ground, going after white and blue and pink flowers, with dragonflies overhead; their shadows zipping along the ground. Squirrels chattering with each other, the birds in trees.

Considering I grew up & lived around Nashville nearly my whole life, and only moved to Florida 5 years ago, my dialect map is interesting

Rutherford County TN, my home county, is +22 red. Every county-wide and state office is GOP, and voted GOP in every pres. election since 1996... but for the people in county commission District 13 they elected not only a young Democrat, but an openly gay individual. Signs of hope, signs of light.

I wrote about North Korea's paratrooper training facilities back in 2020, but it seems like I missed a site. This location, north of Yonsan at 38.952559° 126.266274°, appears to have a very small jump tower. mynorthkorea.blogspot.com/2020/07/nort...

I'm interested in what this building design is used for. There's dozens of them around North Korea, typically at military sites, but I don't know what their purpose is. Example @ 38.369355° 127.081174° from 2012, 2015, 2025 #AccessDPRK

Trump TACOs! Another 2 week pause. Trump also admits that all military objectives have already been met (therefore any additional attacks would be nothing but criminal but I doubt he realizes that)

Carvings like this, praising Kim Il Sung, are scratched into mountains all over North Korea. They're carved so deep into the granite, that unless destroyed by humans, they will likely be among the last things legible that mankind ever wrote - some lasting perhaps for 100,000 years.

With 192 articles & over 1,500 annotated images, the #AccessDPRK blog has covered topics touching on almost every conceivable sector of North Korea. Is there something you'd like to see discussed? Something that doesn't get a lot of attention but needs more? Comment below

The #AccessDPRK blog just passed 1 million views. The blog explores domestic, economic & military topics about North Korea through the use of satellite imagery & is the companion to the AccessDPRK Map which is the most detailed public map of NK available. mynorthkorea.blogspot.com

Ian Youngs and Regan Morris @ the BBC are contemptible. People lost their jobs over "taking a swipe" at Charlie Kirk through merely repeating his own words. Trump did not "take a swipe", he descended into a raging tirade, blaming Reiner and implying MAGAs killed him. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Valid question. Putin loves his "long walk" at the Kremlin and this ballroom may not provide him with enough space to twirl

551 years ago, Peter von Hagenbach was the first person tried and convicted of war crimes. He tried to use "following superior orders" as a defense. And just like the Nazis over 400 years later, that defense was rejected.

I think this is the most northern classical fortification in the world & the only star fort north of the Arctic Circle. Vardøhus Fortress, Norway, is over 260 miles above the Arctic Circle. Built in 1738, this remotest of outposts was actually occupied by Germany during WWII. #FortressEarth

Possible small fort/fortified settlement north of Kusong/Kuju near the village of Ijung-ni (이중리) in North Korea. Stylistically it looks ca. 11th century or earlier. @ 40.020100° 125.231302° It would be ancient site #462 located by #AccessDPRK
