Could you travel from the U.S.A to Russia ON FOOT!?

- 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.
#usa #russia #walk
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
Fact
Even the Navajo? 🤔
@@providence3977 the Navajo come from the Dene people who live in the northwest, hence why their language and name for themselves is “diné”
@Ethan Luaders not different their DNA,but they eyes look different,even in the same asian ethnicity the appearance of those who live in hot countries and those who live in cold countries is not the same looking,native Americans and Central asian people look too much alike
@Ethan Luaders All of them came from Siberia.

Thank you. I appreciate your support.❤

This is cool
You have the voice of someone who will get many views and be pretty well known on youtube soon.
Dont give up touch topics that are hot in the present and have fun !!!!
Thank you so much ❤ It's not my voice though but I will pass on the encouraging words.
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.
But when Sarah Palin said that she could see Russia from Alaska people (Liberal Democrats) thought that she was crazy.
@@williegordon9236 No, they just thought it was a very stupid thing to say as an example of her "foreign policy experience." Had nothing to do if whether she could actually see it or not.
@@williegordon9236 No surprise. No brains needed to be a Liberal democrat.
Good luck…nowdays.
Ian McGarrigle exactly walking across is even very easy,and if you cross from Russia to Alaska you don't need any permit.Know personally someone who crossed over to Alaska
Yes, you can go from U.S.A to Russia by foot , but you also need to swim
No. During the winter months the strait freezes over so you can just walk across the whole thing
Or go with boat
So no then lol
Funny, your video starts from showing Russian Crimea, but on the maps Russian Crimea is still Ukraine. We like this non-sense in the USA
@@wildheartxxx135 Which is not walking, but boating.
Informative! Well done! 👍🏼
Good video. I enjoyed your video...best of luck from Great India .👍👍👍
Thanks for posting this video 👍🎥
Thanks for watching.❤
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!
An inappropriate "uncle" once told me the story of this middle eastern guy, that had a friend, who's cousins stepbrothers son accidentally walked over the Sea of Galilee. The moon wasn't right for the hike back, so he had to work as fisherman to make it back in time for his execution. Since being dead was too boring for him, he got up, gave his friends and family a huge scare and took off to the US start the Sasquatch Dynasty.

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
P.S. that guy running Russia said he wanted Alaska back to Russia.
Interesting topic. Thank you for sharing
And thank you for watching.
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.
and this was in the 1990ies, when Russia was much more liberal and openminded. Hard to imagine that anybody would get such a permit today.
@@ekesandras1481 Russia was ruined during the 90s. Especially Chukotka which faced logistical collapse and starvation. Two third of its population left the region.
As for permit, it was more complicated to obtain it then. Now it is available online. More problems with US border service and immigration.
They vigorously walked on boad
Well information. Good show.
5:27 YES. You can cross the Bering Strait, if physique and climate permit.
Hi thanks for this information that's good for extend the knowledge hard work n efforts for this
Thank you for watching.❤
Strange use of thermal units when referencing the Bering strait. Hypothermia can start at 21°C. Which is 70°F. But this water is more like 2-4°C
Good luck on this in the winter. The Bering sea is nuts

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).
It'll take you more than one day to walk across the world... although not sure how to walk across the Atlantic
I think it’s best for Russians and Americans to still not trust each other! That’s why we have a long ranger radar site near Wales, Alaska and Russia has a “weather station”
on Big Diomede.
RUSSIA IS A GREAT COUNTRY, STOP STUPID U.S NEGATIVE PROPAGANDA. MAYBE RUSSIA IS SMART NOT TO HUM!!!

Interesting video❤🌹🌹
I have logged in my own words looking for this information and indeed I have got some light. At least I now know that it's very difficult to cross to the other side. 2ndly, this side is today the other one is yesterday. Thx
I guess you can, provided you get the necessary permits and wait till the weather is right
Why is that area not called Beringia today? A lot of that is underwater right now but it is still there.
“The boy from Reactor 4” is one of my favorite novel which describes the only way to cross the iced border illegally on foot above Baring Strait.
You could certainly make the crossing on skis!
Doesn’t the ocean just have to freeze over fully or somewhat solid between there for you to walk?
like how you use imperial measurements in narration and metric in graphics
I love the way u say ONLY
If I'm not mistaken, the correct pronunciation of the name Diomede is: die oh mead.
Many people have attempted this crossing most are rescued or arrested. Probably be safest to swim the straight in the summer. During winter the ice is moving due to the ocean currents.
Swimming 20+ miles at a time is crazy difficult
Two way tunnel proposed with double bridge
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.

@derrickbridges2611 Russia recognized the Ukrainian borders in 1994 in return for Ukraine giving up nuclear weapons, so Crime is internationally recognized Ukrainian territory.
Oh my god stop pasting that one reply onto everyone’s comments. You even did it to me dude.
Ok. 👍
Well, brother, going to Alaska from the Russian border and going to America from there this is possible. I hope you can tell me.

Technically not illegal to me as French and Serbian national. With french passport no visa required to enter USA and when stopped by russian brothers' coast guards I sort out my serbian passport which allows me to enter Russia as tourist for 90 days with no visa required as well ;) Sweet home, Amerirussia ;)
It is very easy to cross to Alaska,i will do it soon too!
Walking 55 miles on ice that could crack??? HELLO????
I've heard stories from natives of Alaska, their ancestors crossing the Ice Bridge
How's that dude planning on walking from France to England? Is he going to get a ferry and just walk really slowly from one side to the other as it sails?
@@laurag8126 You can't walk through the Channel Tunnel.
Well, technically you can, but legally you can't.
Apply for a job at Eurotunnel with French contract and you'll have enough time to do the walk during your lunch break.
@@benoitbvg2888 It's 20-odd miles, who the fuck are you working for where you get a five hour lunch break? Can you get me an application form please?
@@ongbonga9025 That's why I specified you need a French work contract LOL
HAD good traveling connections
You showed the ussr mapping th3 beginning. Is that Russia?
Although the video is partially true, you can get even closer to Russia for Alaska by foot as well. In the center of the barrow strait lies the little and big diomede islands. The smaller island, little diomede island has a small town named diomede city with roughly 150 inhabitants according to the 2016 population census. On the other hand the larger of the two big diomede is completely uninhabited, and sometimes has 50-90 inhabitants for weather or military purposes. The larger island also includes the crash site of a Russian b-29 used during engine testing on the island. During the winter months the passage between the two islands freezes over. The passage between these two islands is 2.5 miles wide. So you can indeed walk from USA to Russia is a shorter distance than mentioned in the video.
google maps say that the plane is an Li-2
@USAboy & doesn't show a town..but I do see stuff on there. Isn't this the island with the "Loneliest House in the world"?
watch the vid, he talks ab out the islands

I love people who say a video is “partially true,” and they haven’t even watched the whole video.
@@Yellowblalisback oh shoot my bad

Curious that you showed Crimea at the very beginning of the video, even though your country (usa) does not recognize it as russian:))

Crimea is owned by Ukraine 🇺🇦
@@Michiganian8 definitely not, have you been to Crimea? I was there and talked with the locals, they are even more happy to be Russian than in Russia itself. Besides, why do they need Ukraine if they don’t know the Ukrainian language, and their standard of living has increased significantly in Russia?
Dio meede! Say slowly sound it out! Dio meede!
interesting nice thank abir of geography
Nice idea for a movie or a tv series
Pleas make more video,

Wow. I didn't know they're neighbors
Don t forget if youvgo to Russia leave your vape at home. Great video
Vaping is not banned in Russia, this is not Thailand.
In March 2006, around the British world walker Karl Bushby, 'the Goliath Expedition', and French adventurer Dimitri Kieffer crossed the Bering Strait on foot, trekking across a frozen 56-mile (90km) section in 15 days.
While crossing the Russian border near the Chukotkan village of Uelen, the pair were detained by officials for not entering the country at a correct port of entry.
The above information is from a BBC article from the 9th of May 2022. The BBC also reported and produced a short documentary on the crossing by sending a reporter via helicopter to witness this event.
I have looked into a travel visa for a trip to Russia as a tourist. It's insane!!!. They require 1 year advance notice before your trip starts, 6 months notices on places you wish to see. List the Days you are in what towns, etc. Also if there's a fair happening in a town you heard of while on your travels, but isn't listed in the places to visit on your itinerary, you can kiss that goodbye. In larger cities that you plan on seeing, you have to list the districts interested in visiting. I wonder how the hell Russia has managed to keep a tourist trade going????? That was all from the pre-Ukrainian/Russian war,
All of the tours, cruises, and private travel doesn't require that at all, unless recently changed it.
@Free Trolling your name is self explanatory. Why are you trolling? Are you a Russian sympathizer? I am also a Canadian, with no ties to the US. Also read the post I wrote for Ani. It explains more on how I like to travel.
@@anaibarangan4908 those are tours who are taken in groups, and meant to stay together. The group operator submits the itinerary for 10 or more people. Those people just pay into the travel group when the trip is advertised. I believe those private travelers are extremely rich, and are granted freedoms. Because the Russian government wanted them no restrictions to spend even more money. I am not wealthy to allow that type privilege. When I travel, I want to freedom to see things my self, and go exploring. You'd be surprised how much more beautiful a country looks when you see things off the beaten path. Also to see the local culture that's not with a group. You tend to notice the little things are may be impressive. Not the bulk media that the government wishes you to see.
@The Critic The global climate change is inevitable. The human race has sped up global heating since the industrial revolution by 1000 years. With 3rd world countries trying to to catch up to the 1st world countries, they are making the same mistakes that were made during the industrial age. Speeding up the climate change and heating even faster.
Yeah…and you can just walk in the united states and the USA government will fly you where ever and give you free mobil phone, free education, free housing and free medical….to bad they don’t do that for their own citizens
I think if they both put old differences away, and shift for humanity comfort then many good things will happen.
Great ❤

Since when mexico had been part of the USA
The current state of Alaska in the United States of America was a separate province of Russia. America bought it from Russia in 1867 for only 7.2 million dollars. Since then, Alaska has been recognized as the largest state in the United States.
The way Russia is acting rn i disagree with the bridge no bridge
Imagine walking on that ice and suddenly melts and collaps
Ummm. It doesn't work that way
Nah. The sea water between Big and Little Diomede Islands does not reliably freeze over to provide a pathway to traverse the strait on foot.
Use snow mobile during thick ice
Your pointing the tip side of the two peninsula, beside the whole area at the left is call CHUCKCHI ( not Chokotka ) Peninsula connected to the SEWARD Peninsula by Iceberg Snow Before between the Bering Sea and the Arctic Ocean. Remember too that the Bering sea is the sea of the PACIFIC OCEAN, ( not to the Atlantic Ocean, your twisting the Glove Map in fact ALASCA is in the Pacific Ocean then CANADA down to San Francisco, CA. At the other side is the ATLANTIC Ocean down to Washington below already Florida) to then by differences of the level of Water Season that divided the Bering Sea to the Arctic Ocean, the Iceberg melted and open as you showing here 85 km apart and call then as The BERING STRAIT, therefore no more Arctic Ocean cause it mingles already to the Pacific Ocean. That what I see at the Collegiate World Atlas Map
Yes you can, just time travel back to the Ice Age when they were actually connected to do so. True history, that is how those people who did so became the first indegious Americans.
Lies. In my native american culture, we came from underground by those who watch over this planet
Easy peasy.

1:46 Why does USA have México and more
I can totally understand why a bridge/tunnel would never be built between the USA and Russia. Especially since it would be built between 2 countries that don't have good relations and it would also be built in a location with very few tourists. Just look at the Channel Tunnel built between the UK and France which costed $21 billion. Obviously that tunnel was built between 2 countries with great political relations and was built between 2 countries that have many people within them that look to leave their country to visit another one every year.
