North Korea has long been one of the most isolated — and secretive — nations in the world. And while access is highly restricted, Western photographers are, from time to time, allowed within its borders. Earlier this month, Getty Images photographer Carl Court was granted this much-sought-after (and hard to get) access, spending a week in the Communist state documenting people at work and at play. Pictured here, a man #dives into the sea from a platform in Wonsan, North Korea.
