Various "No Man's Land" between the opposing sides' trenches during WWI in Europe. Until even today many areas are "no go zones" due to the amount of mines and unexploded munitions. During the war the land was a hellscape. Roads, woods, farms & villages were unrecognisable.

Only a sea of mud remained, poisoned by lead, mercury, chlorine, arsenic, acids, & the remains of the humans & animals that had died there.
