The Distance Between the US and Russia is Less Than You Think 🇺🇸 Diomede Islands📍
Did you know that the US and Russia are much closer than you think? 😱🇺🇸 Discover the fascinating connection between these two countries, just two miles apart, and sometimes even connected. Explore the unique geography of the Bering Strait, where two tiny Diomede Islands 🏝️ serve as a remarkable divide between the US and Russia.
Little Diomede, part of the USA, is home to one of the most isolated towns in the country, with a population of 80 people. Meanwhile, Big Diomede, belonging to Russia, remains uninhabited except for military personnel.
Learn how Diomede becomes the closest American town to Russia, separated by only two miles of water. During winter, this water freezes, creating an ice bridge between the two countries, allowing for a rare opportunity to cross the border by land.
Discover the intriguing feature of an international date line between the islands, with a 21-hour time difference. Cross the border from the US side, and you’ll find yourself in the future, becoming a unique kind of time traveler.
We unravel the hidden connection between the US and Russia at Diomede Islands, where geography and time intersect in fascinating ways. 🌍
