Little Diomede | National Geographic 

Have you looked at the sunrise / sunset time differences?

@@Jack-bf6hv I was pretty shocked that I only now found how close these two were. What is the sunrise thing you're talking about? Im pretty interested

@@rishabh5750 Russia and united states are in different time zones so even though little and big Diomede are right beside one another, big Diomede is 21 hours ahead of little Diomede

@@bigfloppa5731 I understand that because it’s two countries their time zones will be different. However wont the physical act of sunrise and the sun setting be at the same time due to proximity?

@@rishabh5750 yeah about the same time. Its just crazy because the islands are only a couple miles apart yet have a 21 hour time difference

климат Флориды полный отстой!

Their bodies adapt to the temperature

@@white_kot Ваш автократ отстой!

@@lee4macs Да он отстой

Moved from Montana (another frozen wasteland, albeit less so than this) to Florida, and I've been saying the same thing about Florida. Lmao

yea I noticed that

K nobody cares you didn’t have to comment that you noticed it

@@user-wf8ph7hi5i i care

Lmao was actually looking to see if anyone else commented this, I would have

Good enough…😮 42” of solid ice can support 4 of them single engine planes 😂

You could literally walk to Russia, but you cannot do it legally. There is a Russian military base on Big Diomede, and they are strictly against people walking, swimming, or kayaking onto their land from the USA. To do it legally, you have to go from an official passport control in the USA, and enter Russia at an official passport control. The nearest ones are in Nome AK, and Provedinia, Chukotka, Russia, which are nowhere near within walking distance

id love to go there but i wouldnt wanna live there

Dandan I don't think it's frozen all year round but I could be wrong

@Dandan because there is literally nothing to see there except a weather station.

not 12 hours. Nearly 24 hours. Diomede timezone is GMT-9, while the most eastern part of russia is GMT+12.

Marley robertson there’s a Russian border guard post on the other island and from what was said in another episode it’s not a good idea to cross over

Nobody has been there since the fall of the Soviet Union... But then again, i suppose they would have a few guards

@@thegrouchdrag0n132 The FSB DO have border patrol there. You would likely get arrested if they catch you over there.

Their military is on that Island

There's major activity from all branches of the U.S. armed forces in and around Alaska, as well as Russian border guards on the opposing side so, I'd make sure your passport is valid lol.

Actually as someone whose born in Honolulu and raised in Aiea you are quite a bit far off as the half point of the globe is at the Equator and we are no where near the Equator the country at the Equator is Ecuador.

@@wanderlustandsparkle4395 I think he is not talking about the scientifically half way point however the distance is from point A to B is very large

Actually it's closer to hawaï than it is to florida

you mean big diomede?

You would think it'd be a tight knit community 😆😆

We're talking Eskimos here dude.

Phantom -- that's was exactly my thought too

Manko Kennewick and?

They where erested cause they went to the russian island wich is elegal your not allowed to cross the ice into russia cause its to colf for border gaurs so they elegaly crossed the border into russia

because this is the place u dont want to be live

Me too 😅

🤣😂🤣😂🤣

JasnoGT yeah maybe for a little while but I'd probably miss all my stuff and the warm California weather

You can dude.

You wouldn't last 6 months; especially if those months were October, November, December, January, February, and March.

@jojofromtx I've met some damned hearty Texans in Alaska that adapted nicely. Pilots mainly and a state trooper. The place isn't for everyone that's for sure. It's the Canadian version of America.

High-speed Internet, cable television, a well-heated dwelling, and my cataract medicine I would be golden. :D

Sarah Palin has never been to Diomede.

BB, Everyone in Alaska wishes that was so.

that's the funny part. she claims she can see it "from her backyard" but Skagway is on the opposite side of AK lol

@@lucasthelemur7606 first thing she never said that. Second thing she lives in Wasilla.

Haha

@Quansem time to kill myself

early onset arthritis can make you do weird things lol

Yes they ride Tauntauns.

Another name for the Russian 'Big Diomede Island' is 'Tomorrow Island', due to its location on the international date line. The history behind the plane crash is quite strange and dates back to September 1971. It was a regular Russian flight which was to deliver mail, supplies and goods to the forward russian outpost at the big island. The Li-2 aircraft brought ballots to Ratmanov Island. It threw out the packages at the outpost and did not pull up in time because of a downdraft and low clouds. So because of cloud cover and weather conditions the plane met with weather disturbance. The pilot had no option but to crash land the plane. So the plane crashed and none of the crew of 4 suffered any life threatening injuries except for some bruises and broken bones. They spent the night at the crash site and the next day they were rescued by helicopter. The plane is a Lisunov Li-2. This is a version of the Douglas DC3/C47 Dakota built under licence in Russia and Uzbekistan before and during WW2.

@@jupiter8141 Thank you for this information

Back in Alaska.

It's about 4 km in winter you can walk on the ice the ice is thick

Oh that was painful watching him attempting to start it, I nearly stopped watching only that it was 3:38 long

There is actually a small group of border guards on the Russian side. The only inhabitants on the Russian island. There actually used to be permanent inhabitants on the Russian side but after ww2 the Soviets forced them to mainland Russia

It would be complex af since the American island would be near Russia and Russian one on near America which might have caused some tensions

They got a helicopter pad.

Haha

McDonald’s only

Yaaa

Honestly if covid makes it's way over there, I'd be shocked

@@MyNameIsSteveYesitis Apparently they only reported 2 cases

Yeah mee too ..I think that's some childrens who doesn't know what to do .. maybe their phone only shows dislike button

It's a RU-vid bot that dislike
