North Korean leader's sitting room discovered by Google Earth
|
An American economist said that he found the satellite photographs of Kim Jong-il’s mansion on Google earth.
Cutis Melvin, an American economist and a researcher at George Mason University, published a picture that he discovered on “Google Earth” during a program in CNN. He said this is the mansion of North Korea’s top leader Kim Jong-il. The swimming poll in the picture is 15 meters wide and 50 meters long.
A South Korea official said, “This picture is Kim’s No. 21 mansion in Lung Shing, a suburb of Pyongyang.” It’s said that No. 21 mansion is Kim’s main residence in Pyongyang.
However, Hazel Smith, a North Korea expert, said that it’s a tough work to get the exact location of Kim’s residence. This satellite photograph seems similar to other diplomatic mansions she has encountered.

The circle on the upside is the swimming poll, and another one is the sitting room.
