Introduction
Typhoon (Taepung) Observatory was established on
3 Dec. 1991 by the Invincible Typhoon Force. It
is located at the top, Suribong, of Mt, Bikki, Hoengsan-ri,
Jung-myeon, where is around 65km from Seoul and
around 140km from Pyeongyang. At first, it was built
between South Limited Line and North Limited Line,
2km from the Military Demarcation Line. Now that
North Korea put iron impalement around the truce
line in 1968, South Korea set up iron impalement
partially in 1978. Typhoon (Taepung) Observatory
was established 800m from the truce line and 1,600m
from a guard post of North Korea. Thus, it became
the closest observatory on the truce line of 155
miles. |
