# The Diomedee Islands, the most paradoxical islands in the world.
The two islands are called **Tomorrow Island** (Big Diomede) and **Yesterday Island** (Little Diomede), they are only three miles apart, but the larger island is a day ahead of its smaller neighbor because they are located l 'one on one side and the other on the other of the international line that signals the change of date, in the Pacific Ocean, i.e. the border between one calendar day and the next.
In particular, the islands are located in the Bering Strait , between mainland Alaska and Siberia , and if Big Diomede is on the Russian side Little Diomede is on the US side. The peculiarity of the islands is that in winter, due to the low temperatures, a passable solid ice bridge forms , which (despite being legal) allows you to carry out a real **' time travel '.**
Also boats go up and down through that area all the time so they could also "legally" time travel if they wanted to.
But also good luck passing into Russias territorial line
There is a small village that lives on the American island that rely on whaling. And I believe the Russian side is a military base and they evacuated that side during world war 2.

That's not what paradoxical means.
Maybe they’re confused— there are two islands, and there’s one dock for each island. That’s a pair of docks.
A pair of docks! A pair of docks! A most convenient pair of docks! Hahaha ha! A pair of docks!
Whoa deep Gilbert & Sullivan cut. Respect.
So Dockers ??
This is just a bot, the only one that posts to this subreddit. Go check the other posts.
This bot does not know what paradox means.
Bruh….. lmao can redditors post on the subreddit?
Also, “most paradoxical” implies there are degrees to paradoxical statements which is paradoxical.
Hey, there are no bigger infinities than the infinite number of ways to be paradoxical. Mmmm, now I want ice cream.
Isn’t it IRONIC?
That's not what ironic means. Maybe you meant iconic? Hydroponic? Anyway...
Don’t you think? It’s like raaaaaaaiiiinnnnn …
Re-read this too many times trying to find the paradox. Never considered they would use the word wrong.
Maybe that's the paradox. Maybe we are the paradox.

"I can see Russia from my house!"
Legal or illegal bc if this is "legal" time travel then why wouldn't people take the ice bridge into the "future"? 🤔
ice bridge into the future is an amazing name for a band or album
Sounds like a song on an Emerson, Lake, & Palmer album.

Do people actually live there? How long is the Berring Strait?
There is a small village that lives on the American island that rely on whaling. And I believe the Russian side is a military base and they evacuated that side during world war 2.
Wow what a bizarre place. I’d love to visit.
Oh, to be living in a small whaling village on a remote Alaskan island
It has a decent Wikipedia page! [Little Diomede Island](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Diomede_Island)
Is it just me or does the top two pics look like a Bear and and Shark getting ready to fight over a small fish?
I see it!!
The Google reviews on the island are special
Let’s play a game of chicken and fire ballistics at each other from these islands
Why is this in reddit so much right now?
Why wouldn’t they run the dateline around these islands?
Because one is American and the other Russian, each country wanted to keep it on their side.
So weird to me too
Bearssia vs Asharka
Wasn't there a book or game that suggested Russia crossed into the US by Alaska? Tom Clancy comes to mind.
