Det här behöver förmodligen delas för att påminna oss alla. För dem som tror att Ryssland är på andra sidan världen... Det är ungefär 55 miles från oss vid Beringsundets smalaste punkt. Dock, i vattnet mellan Alaska och Ryssland, känt som Beringsundet, finns det två små öar som kallas Stora Diomede och Lilla Diomede. Intressant nog ägs Stora Diomede av Ryssland medan Lilla Diomede ägs av USA. Sträckan mellan dessa två öar är endast cirka 2,5 miles bred och fryser faktiskt under vintern så att du tekniskt sett kan gå från USA till Ryssland på denna årstidsbundna havsis.

RYSSLAND & USA

This probably needs to be shared to remind all of us. 
For those who think Russia is all the way on the other side of the world...It's approximately 55 miles from us at the Bering Strait's narrow point. 
However,  in the body of water between Alaska and Russia, known as the Bering Strait, there lies two small islands known as Big Diomede and Little Diomede. Interesting enough, Big Diomede is owned by Russia while Little Diomede is owned by the US. 
The stretch of water between these two islands is only about 2.5 miles wide  and actually freezes over during the winter so you could technically walk from the US to Russia on this seasonal sea ice.
