The Diomede Islands, comprising Tomorrow Island (Big Diomede) and Yesterday Island (Little Diomede), are situated just three miles apart in the Bering Strait, positioned between mainland Alaska and Siberia. These islands are separated by the International Date Line, a significant boundary in the Pacific Ocean that demarcates one calendar day from the next.
Notably, Big Diomede, located on the Russian side, is nearly 21 hours ahead of its smaller neighbor, Little Diomede.
Theoretically, this is the only place where you can walk from Russia to the United States (and vice versa), however travel between one Diomede to the other is strictly forbidden.
