Some folks say that you can walk to Russia from Alaska during the winter. Maybe an urban legend or in this case a rural legend?

I believe that’s true. An ice bridge forms between the two Diomedes.

Actually, The Bering Strait doe ice over, I think... so it might technically be possible.

I have visited Alaska twice and yes, I’ve heard that you can see Russia from Alaska; this was told to us by tour guides. I didn’t visit in winter, nor did I fly in any planes in the area, so can’t prove it but why on earth would tour guides be talking about it if it were not true?

The left is filled to the brim with idiots. Is this all they have to yap about?
