Many people would be surprised to hear that despite being in different continents, the U.S.A and Russia are actually extremely close to one other. Much closer than anyone would ever expect.

As a matter of fact, at the nearest points, they are only separated by a stretch of water which is merely 55 miles wide.

This realization raises a lot of questions, the most obvious one being the possibility of being able to travel from the U.S.A to Russia and vice versa by simply crossing this body of water.

In this video, we attempt to answer exactly that.

    The Native Americans came to America from Siberia. The Siberian Eskimos walked from Russia to Alaska and down into America and spread out and formed different tribes

    Hi, you have put a lot of hardwork doing this. Thank you! I guess it did not have much views because it was too technical heavy. I appreciate it though. Thanks!

    Imagine you could do 2 new year parties /birthday parties twice in the span of 21 hours by just moving a mile

    in 2012, the Korean expedition team had done it as well, completely on foot. I'm surprised how no one really knows about this. It's a big achievement.

    Assuming you could get the necessary permits then YES. In winter the Bering Strait freezes over and walking across is possible.

    I remember a story told by a friend who lived in Alaska as a young boy he was part Eskimo and part white. He once told me a story of how a group of 3 eskimos in the early 50s or so were out fishing in a little boat in the Bearing Strait and it was very foggy and no visibility afar. After some time out of the fog appeared another boat with 4 other men and 2 of them looked Eskimo but they were actually Siberian natives who spoke the same language and were able to communicate with the other Eskimos. Two other men looked white but spoke no English it turned out that they were actually Russian. After a while 3 the eskimos said they were lost and needed to know where they were, so they asked how could they get back home and the other 2 said they couuldnt go back and they had to follow them only to find out they were now in Soviet Russia ( they had accidentally strayed into Soviet waters in the Bearing strait) so for the next year or 2 they had to stay detained until a way was found to return them (albeit indirectly) via working on several ships as fisherman or deck hands for the next 3 years they steamed around the world on tramp steamers until they were finally able to return to Alaska!

    Russian professional traveler Alexander Shparo together with his sons Nikita and Matvey crossed the Bering strait in 1998 during the "Ski bridge" expedition. They had all permits from border guards, helicopter and boat. They realised that all the ice field in the strait is moving so they should go not directly but diagonal. And even after this they faced 500 meters of open water near the Alaskan shore. So technically they didnt cross the strait on foot, they had to use boat.

    For us living and growing up in Nome been common knowledge walking across. Before any such date line, my mother told me a story of my grandfather quaking to trade. It's Die-meed pronunciation. AP

    I love Russia. The music. The beautiful women it's a beautiful place. Too cold but I love it
  • @centauria9122
    I'd say it's best to go from Russia to Alaska, with necessary permits/permissions, and/or US citizenship (Passport) would allow you to cross the Bering Strait. Looking to do a world walk one day sometime in the future (6-8 years from now with all other stuff I'm doing now).

    There was a Soviet military guy who defected with his son across the strait. Took a modified canoe, said they were going hunting, got across to the American island. There was also a woman who swam between the islands in the 2000s as a post-Cold War project. She made it the 2 miles and change across by swimming, ending in Russia. But there was a language problem. She asked for a “babushka” to have when she reached Russia (she meant a special piece of clothing, balenki maybe?) to help her warm up. The Russians took her literally and sent a “babushka” (grandmother) who was a nurse.
