North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un is pictured riding a white horse in the snow on a sacred mountain in a series of photographs released by the state on Wednesday that experts believe is a sign of a major announcement to come. 

The Korean Central News Agency reported, “His horseback march in Mount Paktu is a great event of weighty importance in the history of Korean revolution.” 

Mount Paktu, the mountain he is photographed on, is supposed to be the spiritual home of the Kim dynasty and the birthplace of Kim Jong-Un’s father.
