Diomede Islands: Little Diomede (left) and Big Diomede (right).
International Date Line
The Diomedes are a pair of islands lying in the Bering Strait. The
little Diomede island lies in America and houses a population of 146.
The big Diomede island is located in Russia and is lonely. The two
islands are located 4 kms away and International Date Line passes
through them. So when the people in the little island look at the Bering
Strait, they see tomorrow. When it's 9 PM Saturday night here, it will
be 6 AM Sunday morning at the Big Diomede.
