The Dag Hammarskjöld Memorial, located just off the Ndola–Kitwe road in Zambia, honors the life of the UN Secretary-General who tragically died in a plane crash during a peace mission to the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the 1960s. The memorial consists of a simple plinth with stones from various countries and organizations, topped by a globe and surrounded by a tree circle shaped like an airplane. The exact cause of the crash—whether due to mechanical failure or foul play—remains unresolved. Visitors can explore the attached museum, guided by a knowledgeable caretaker who shares poignant details about the crash and its historical significance.
