TALE OF TWO ISLANDS



Very Interesting. It reminds one of the jokes "The world cannot end today, it is already tomorrow in Australia"
 Above photo shows two islands in sea facing each other silently.
These are not ordinary islands. They are located in Bering Straits.

They belong to two Super Powers - Russia and USA and represent
two different days of calendar at any given time.
They are just 2.4 km apart from each other.



 The bigger one called Big Diomede with an area of 29 sq.km. with no population,
belongs to Russia and part of Siberia - 25 km from main land.

International Date Line is about 1.8 km east of this island
.
 
The smaller one is called Little Diomede with an area 7.3 sq.km. with a
population of 170, belongs to Alaska - 25 km from main land
International Date Line is about 0.6 km west of this island.

 
On a clear day, by looking at Big Diomede from Little Diomede -

one can see tomorrow as the time difference between the two islands
is exactly 24 hrs.
 
 

 
Close up Sattelite View of both islands


 

 
Sattelite view of Bering Straits - Siberia is towards left  & Alaska is in on right side

 
Many Russians and even Americans may not be aware of these facts as these islands are quite
far away from them.
