Credited from: INDIATIMES

  • Imagine celebrating New Year once and then doing it again shortly after; this is possible by visiting two islands in the Bering Strait.
  • The islands, Little Diomede and Big Diomede, are only 5 kilometers apart yet separated by a 22-hour time difference.
  • Little Diomede is part of Alaska, known as "Yesterday Island," while Big Diomede belongs to Russia and is dubbed "Tomorrow Island."
  • The International Date Line creates this unique opportunity to celebrate the New Year twice, with local customs reflecting their historical contexts.
  • Despite the challenges of the harsh climate and logistics, this experience can create memorable celebrations for adventurous travelers.
