Political prisoners were reportedly forced to dig tunnels into the southern side of the mountain, at the nuclear test site near P'unggye-ri.[3] The horizontal tunnels are believed to be two to three meters wide and high and hundreds of meters long.[4] This is where the detonations of the North Korean nuclear tests in 2006, 2009, 2013 and 2016 occurred.[5]
International analysts believe that the sixth and largest explosion, to this date the last, "made the mountain bulge sideways by about 12 feet and collapse vertically by about a foot and a half", with one seismologist describing the subsequent reaction as the mountain "pancaking".[6]
Hwasong concentration camp, at 549 km2 (212 sq mi) the largest North Korean concentration camp,[7] is located between Mantapsan and Myŏnggan (Hwasŏng).
