Think the U.S./Canada border is one of the most boring places on Earth? Think again.
The 3,433 km-long border is the longest in the world, but it isn’t marked in the traditional way.
There’s a six-metre divide between the countries’ forests called the “no touch zone.” This separates the two nations, with only a few exceptions: Derby Line, Vermont; Stanstead, Quebec; Point Roberts, Washington; and Hyder, Alaska.
Despite the countries coexisting peacefully, maybe a wall will be put up in the future to make the border clearer.
Watch this video to find out more about the border along the 49th parallel.
