Is the border between North and South Korea higher or lower today than it was when set by the Allies in 1945?

Assuming that "higher or lower" means "further north or south" and is not a question about altitude, the answer, is both. The 38th Parallel as set by the Allies in 1945 cut across the Peninsula at a very wide way since the Peninsula is not straight north-south, but goes from north northwest to south southeast. The current DMZ between North and South Korea cuts diagonally to make a far shorter border between North and South Korea. The DMZ dips below the 38th parallel on the West, giving North Korea control of the formerly South Korean cities of Kaeseong, Yeonan, and Ongjin. The DMZ rises above the 38th parallel in the East, giving South Korea control of the formerly North Korean cities such as Yeoncheon, Cheorwon, Goseong, and Sokcho.
