Borders may look like lines on a map, but in reality, they can mark some of the sharpest contrasts on Earth. A single step across can mean moving from wealth to poverty, desert to jungle, democracy to dictatorship, or even from one language and alphabet to another. Some crossings are heavily fortified, lined with fences and checkpoints, while others are surprisingly casual, with only a small marker to separate two very different worlds. In this countdown of 15 Border Crossings With Shocking Contrasts, we’ll explore the places where human geography and politics have created striking divisions, making it possible to see two completely different realities standing side by side.
