Life Changed Little on a Tiny Island Between Alaska and Russia

Who pays for the helicopter?

I take MY HAT OFF FOR THOSE PEOPLE LIVING THER WAY OF LIVES 👍👏👏👏👏👏👏RUSSIA HAS MENNY REGAINED LIKE SIMULAR GOD BLESS ALL OF THEM.

Mosquito survive there and so it is not cool especially during summer.

I See the Video from Germany

If the US is the 'land of the free' why alaskans are forbidden to visit Russia?

Can somebody please tell me why The Voice of America still exists? And why is Radio Liberty part of it?

There's still mosquitoes near there? God is cruel

I would love to move to little diamond in Alaska but unfortunately I'm stuck in West Virginia

What if any medical emergency happens? Thats the only problem i see.

Big Diomede island looks like a rib-eye steak 🥩, from a birds eye view!!

Between border do they have immigration officer?

alaska is Russian territory. No king can sell the people land.

wale hunting ??????

Did that guy just say that they hunt polar bears? :(

Your audio is way to low

He sounds like an Irishman

Man said they hunt polar bears in the winter

These people are seriously crazy, I've looked at videos and aerial photos of "Diomede city" and it looks like a slum full of wrecks, broken things strewn around and piles of garbage simply lying around here and there.
I also wonder how they dispose of human waste: there is no sewage system so probably they throw buckets of shit and piss into the see in the warm season and just keep it in the homes in the cold season as the entire area freezes and there is ice all around for miles (actually the sea between the two islands used to freeze completely up to some 30 years ago and it was possible to literally "walk to Russia").
If they make holes in the ice and put the shit there once the ice melts they'll have shit mounds all around the place or simply floating in the sea.
And I can only imagine the inbreeeding...

Someday they will be on a tropical island

Nice

Both islands are over the North American Plate, so Russia has territory in 3 continents.

This just proves the ancient links associated with Native russians (Siberians etc) & Native americans!! No wonder they once lived together!! Quite fascinating♥

i wonder they get internet

They have everything except sugar and coffee. All that has harmed our bodies slowly but surely 🥴

Wasn't aware that Mike & The Mechanics also flew the helicopter

My family is from Mexico city and Puebla, Mexico and through Ancestry DNA ive found a few matches who are members of the Inupiaq tribe. They're 4-5 cousins from Barrow Alaska. I know our ancestors came from Asia thousands of years ago and became the indigenous people of the Americas. Unlike most Mexicans, my family hasn't mixed much. Im only 1% Spanish.

Greetings from Peru!!!

The reporter and the cameraman are Russians, aren't they?

Must be cold

I wonder what the alcoholism, drug abuse and suicide rate is in this horrific, depressing place. High, I would imagine.

Amaaaazing! Me wanna go! Lets go everyone!

Why are they killing the polar bears? Someone get them a freezer

No Starbucks!? 😲

Crazy they how they can just put a military base there while people inhabit the land and do nothing for them

Greetings from Philippines 🇵🇭 I hope I go to diomede someday 🥰

Humans amaze me. Life will live in any condition.

Does Diomede have grocery shops?

PUWEDE

I'd love to spend some time here while studying for exams. Away in a log cabin away from all the technology, people, and stress. This is a hermits' paradise. I'd love to feast on the fresh fish.

They were born there & know no other life...I bet If some ever got to leave, they would stay gone...A place with no trees or plants? That place looks miserable.

from terengganu malaysia...thk you about this story..

Stop relocation of native

Hello Diomede from Puerto Rico! Hola a Diomede desde Puerto Rico!

I’m gonna visit there one day

I saw the islands on google maps and searched you tube. I can't believe people live there! Fascinating!

thumbnail man is typical fillipino

Are there even trees?

Anyone else didn't know that Alaska was up in Canada and that it was so close to Russia? Now I'm learning that you can technically walk 4 km. from U.S. to get to Russia, this is crazy
