You CAN walk from US to Russia! The Diomedes, in the Bering Straight Alaska is rarely talked about.
Original vid posted to TikTok: @map_nerd - 20M liked it so figured I'd share with you too!...
You probably know that Alaska and Russia are relatively close – with just the Bering Sea between them, they’re only about 55 miles apart.
But there’s an American town that is much closer, just a couple miles from Russia. And In winter, they can actually walk there, but they don’t… I don’t think.
Diomede is an American town of about 100 people on a small island in the Bering Sea called Little Diomede Island.
It is one of the two Diomede Islands that sit about halfway between mainland Alaska and mainland Russia.
The western island – Big Diomede – is Russian. The eastern island – Little Diomede – is American. They are 2.5 miles apart. The only thing between them is water. In winter, the notoriously cold water freezes up, creating a 2.5 mile ice bridge that’s walkable. (I’m told it takes about a half hour). So technically you CAN walk from the US to Russia.
If you do, you also instantaneously step into the future bc Big Diomede is 21 hours ahead of Little Diomede. The international date line falls right smack between them so you can literally step a whole day ahead.
I like finding interesting things on maps. Hope you do too.

Magadan, Russia: The City with a Dark History ENG SUB
I traveled to Magadan, a city, located in far northeastern Russia. In the Soviet Union era, it was a transit centre for the transportation of Gulag inmates and materials to camps of Kolyma. Although today locals preserve the memories of those dark days, Magadan is developing and looks nothing like many other towns that served as labour camps in the past. What is the secret of Magadan? Why it hasn’t turned into a ghost town 30 years after the fall of the USSR?

Sakhalin - Incredibly beautiful island
#Sakhalin is the next point of my Far Eastern trip. A place where, probably, everyone can feel like a pioneer. It's the very end of the world.
An island, on every square meter of which there is something beautiful, bewitching, almost untouched by man. Mountains, the Sea of Okhotsk and the Sea of Japan, bays, grottoes, waterfalls…
This time I discovered the best natural and man-made sights of Sakhalin: Aniva lighthouse, Cape Velikan and Cape Bird, a sea lion rookery in Nevelsk, Mount Kruzenshtern.
But you can explore Sakhalin endlessly, each time learning something new about it. So let's do it together!

The City with a Dark History: Magadan, Russia
Magadan is a city in northeastern Siberia. It is also the gateway to the Kolyma region, notorious for its dark history. Magadan used to be one of the biggest GULAG centres in the Soviet Union, but unlike other former labour camps, Magadan hasn’t turned into a ghost town in modern Russia. Despite its harsh climate and isolated location, the city is developing.

【Ep#10】Drift ice in the Sea of Okhotsk
Drift ice is thick ice with a thickness of nearly 50 cm. Drift ice formed near the mouth of the Amur River in Russia can be seen in three areas along the Sea of Okhotsk coast of Hokkaido: Shiretoko, Abashiri, and Monbetsu. This time, I was able to see the drift ice from Monbetsu Port on the Garinko 2, and from Abashiri Port on the Aurora. However, the next day, the drift ice had already gone somewhere and was a capricious drift ice that could not be seen. If you can see drift ice, you are very lucky.

Exploring Russia's Avian Wonders A Journey Through the Rich Biodiversity of its Birdlife
Russia, with its expansive landscapes and diverse ecosystems, is home to a rich biodiversity that extends to its avifauna. From the rugged mountains of the Caucasus to the vast taiga forests of Siberia, Russia offers a habitat for a wide variety of bird species.
One of the most iconic birds found in Russia is the Steller's sea eagle, a majestic raptor known for its impressive size and striking appearance. With its white head and tail contrasting against its dark brown body, the Steller's sea eagle is a symbol of the country's wild and untamed landscapes. Found primarily in the Far East region of Russia, along the coastlines of the Sea of Okhotsk and the Sea of Japan, these magnificent birds are often spotted soaring high above the rugged coastline in search of prey.
In addition to the Steller's sea eagle, Russia is also home to a diverse array of bird species, ranging from migratory waterfowl to forest-dwelling songbirds. The Siberian jay, for example, is a charming bird found in the dense coniferous forests of Siberia. With its blue and white plumage and distinctive call, the Siberian jay is a familiar sight and sound in the taiga, where it forages for food among the pine and spruce trees.
Along Russia's vast coastline, birdwatchers can spot a variety of seabirds, including the Caspian tern. With its striking black cap and bright red bill, the Caspian tern is a common sight along the shores of the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea. These elegant birds can often be seen diving into the water to catch fish, their primary source of food.
Russia's wetlands and marshes are also important habitats for bird species, such as the Siberian crane. With its pristine wetlands and abundant food supply, Russia provides an ideal breeding ground for these graceful birds, which migrate thousands of kilometers each year from their wintering grounds in China and India to breed in the remote tundra regions of Siberia.
Overall, Russia's avifauna is a testament to the country's vast and varied landscapes, from its rugged coastlines to its pristine forests and wetlands. With its rich biodiversity and diverse array of bird species, Russia offers a unique and rewarding destination for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts alike
