Who Claims the island? I know when living in the Las Vegas Valley I could see a longer distance than 51 miles. It depends on the elevation that one is observing from and the elevation of what is being observed. It appears there are mountains on the Russian side of the straight or what will be known as Berengia when the sea level falls again! 😉
Without having been there it appears you should be able to see from one side to the next on a clear day.
Diomede Island Is Russia. It is 23 miles from Alaska.
So now you’re saying that Russia is 23 miles from Alaska?
It is 2.5 miles from island to island. 23 miles from mainland to island. 51 miles from mainland to mainland.
Actually, Little Diomede Island, Alaska lies only 2.5 miles west of Big Diomede Island, Russia in the Bering Strait, which separates Siberia from Alaska. The International Date Line runs through the Bering Strait, so looking across the water from Little Diomede to Big Diomede is actually looking into yesterday. The Date Line mostly coincides with the 180 meridian, but curves irregularly to avoid crossing over land masses.
And you say that Russia is 2.5 Miles (and one day) west of Alaska? I’m getting confused!
No you are just thick.
Lank – a little confusing. Little Diomede is 2.5 miles EAST of Big Diomede, and looking from Little to big, you are looking into the future, not the past (looking from big to little you would be looking at the past).
