Diomede Islands: Close Proximity, Vast Time Difference Separates Islands

The Diomede Islands, located in the Bering Strait between mainland Alaska and Siberia, are geographically close enough to be seen with the naked eye. However, they are separated by the International Date Line, creating a nearly 21-hour time difference between them. This unique geographical feature means that when it is daytime on one island, it is already the next day on the other.
