 </span></blockquote>in half.<br/>
The precise orientation of the split is important in at least one<br/>
respect. Paektu is the highest mountain in North Korea, and its height<br/>
is usually given as 2744ft. But the 2744ft summit (Bai Yun Feng) lies<br/>
in the NW of the crater rim and maps I&#39;ve seen put it in China,<br/>
leaving 2700ft Jiang Jin Feng in the SE as the highest point of Paektu<br/>
on Korean soil. I&#39;d dearly love to know the exact run of the border.<br/>
