I’m confused by the photo’s caption. On the left of the photo I see ... ocean, and then an island behind. Behind that, I see another piece of land ... is the caption telling me that the hump that is, essentially, in the middle of the photo where ocean meets land, is Big Diomedad, and that the land to the left of the hump is Russia? Or then again ... maybe the resolution on my computer screen is too crappy to see that those are two islands on the left?
That photo, I believe, is taken from Little Diomede Island which is in Alaska. The island in the left part of the photo is Big Diomede which is Russian territory. Behind it to the right may very well be the Russian mainland. The error in the caption is that the photo is FROM Little Diomede, not from the Alaskan mainland.
