A family looks at Mt. Kumgang through a telescope at Goseong Unification Observatory in South Korea’s northernmost Gangwon Province.

They came here for a winter trip from North Chungcheong Province, but were unable to visit the mountain, as tourism in Mt. Kumgang has been suspended over the shooting death of a South Korean tourist July 2008. The South Korean government has not accept the North Korea’s strong demands to resume tourism at Mt. Kumgang, requesting an apology from North Korea for the artillery attack on Yeonpyeong Island and the sinking of the Cheonan.
