arrival
Swimming across the Bering Sea It is impractical to swim from Alaska, USA to Chukotka. It is illegal and very dangerous. Even if you can reach Chukotka by swimming, or even walking through it (when the sea freezes), you will undoubtedly cause a big trouble for the local border guards. Although it is very impractical, it also comes fromAmericaPeople smuggled across the Bering Strait to Chukotka. So far, it is rumored that only Lynn Cox has chosen this route. During the Soviet era, the swimming voyage from Alaska’s Little Diomede Island to Chukot’s Ratmanov Island was 3 kilometers (2 miles). It is understood that she asked for a "babushka". When she arrived, she could get the turban and take it home as a souvenir. But the headscarf in Russian (not Polish) means "old woman (бабушка)". Therefore, the Soviet Union issued the headscarf when she arrived at the scene, and provided well-trained medical care personnel to restore the health of the frozen passengers. ! In August 2013, a group of 65 swimmers swam across the Bering Strait from Russia to Alaska (110 kilometers completed), which was the first case of a swim. These people can only proceed with the special permission and support of the Russian Navy. There are also some people walking on the ice in winter, but this is very dangerous because the ice flows quickly and may fall to the bottom of the sea in the middle. |
