    It is a CGI so I would think the actual view would be a bit different. I could imagine this view from a plane or a high mountain!

    I think I see her lawn chair!

    Looks rather different in winter: you can cross the Bering Strait ice on foot. Watch out for the Russian border guards though – http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2006/apr/05/russia.topstories3

    I lived in Wales, Alaksa in 1987-88 when the Navy Station was still in operation. I am telling you, there were days when I could see mainland Siberia from my kitchen window. We were probably at the closest point, 52 miles, according to the Navy. Saw the Diomedes all the time, only 22 miles off the coast, went there twice, once by plane (when it was frozen), once by helicopter. Even got to stray in to what was then Soviet air space. Can try to find some pics if you are interested.

      nice! I can’t believe you got to see those places. It must have been a real experience having to have lived there and seeing Siberia from your own window. I could only imagine…..
