On the third and final day of his trip to North Korea on Thursday, South Korean President Moon Jae-in was treated to a trip most South Koreans can only dream of.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un brought Moon to Mount Paektu, the Korean peninsula's tallest mountain and what is considered as the spiritual birthplace of the Korean people.

The two leaders posed for pictures on the rim of the 9,000-foot-high dormant volcano, holding their hands up in a sign of joint triumph, flanked by their wives.
