What It's Like To Live In The Diomedes, The Two Tiny Islands In The Middle Of Russia And Alaska

Have you done anything about Point Roberts, WA?

Your timetable is way off the mark. Read Genesis. Not 13,000 years ago!

Woot! Alcohol is bad! I'm curious about giving them more jobs.

I just came here to see flat earthers lose their shit

It must be a real challenge to not date a cousin. Only 100 people!

funny...a couple years ago CNN sent a liberal reporter to the island, just to rebuff sara palins "russia from my house" assertion. Even Diomede is reached by the political ugliness that is the US right now

Interesting and informative. No need for the lame corny jokes. People don’t come here for that. 🙄

A+ video!
That would be a very interesting and challenging place to live.

That is crazy that Tide was $44!

Why do I speed up the video everytime I hear: "But before we start...." 😂

Forget alcohol...but no drugs? Sorry but I couldn't live in a place like that without them.

Interesting,

The narrator (or rather, the script the narrator is reading from) is idiotic, patronising. The “funny” remarks and putative in-jokes only detract from the subject matter. It’s a huge pity, because this could have been something good.

If resources weren't so hard to come by I'd vote to stay.

How do you even end up there?

The internet has to be the most depressing thing for these people; knowing there’s SO much more out there.

Nice so kool place so nice people

Bad humour lowers the integrity of this documentary.... clicked on National Geographic instead....bye

It's called iŋaaliq in inupiaq language

Climate Fooling! 🤨

Russia being Russia? But you have no problem with America invasion of Iraq, Syria, Libya, etc. With regime changes in countries the US have interests!

It's sad, roughly 100 or less people and we can't feed them. Ridiculous.. wouldn't even cost a penny compared to other ways we spend out tax payers money

Interesting.❤

The community could be incorporated into the Nome municipality in the Alaskan mainland, so they could get support and services more easily, as the same way that some Japanese islands are part of the Tokyo municipality…

I absolutely love the comedy in the documentary 😂, amazing islands.

You lost me at climate change. Unsubbed.

Climate change 😂😂😂😂😂

As someone more in tune with my herbivore instincts, I wouldn't be able to survive there.

Why are the sunrises between the two islands four hours apart

How did the Great Lakes form? Well, something must have happened 14,000 years ago to start melting the mile-thick glaciers that covered the Northern latitudes of America. Man had nothing to do with it, Lib-Tard.

Nah. The Little Diomede island is not between Alaska and Russia. The Big Diomede Isalnd is not between Russia and Alaska. /

Thanks!

Imagine waking up and finding out someone has claimed your home as their own and then sells it but you still there. And then they make rules telling you that you aren’t allowed to travel freely around your own home. I feel bad for the natives.

They should have some kind of rule where you can’t have more than two jobs. It’s only like 80 ppl they can share

Yeah i could.. as long as i find love namsayin?

What happens if you don't pay the alcohol fine?

What it's like to live in Kamchatka.....yes, that all-important land mass we all want when playing the game Risk. Would we want to live there though? I dunno.

In the 5th grade (I was born in Seattle in 1973), we were given words, and had to use them in a sentence. The words were Alaska, USSR, isthmus. I wrote, "There is NOOOOOOO isthmus, that connects Alaska and USSR."

The Great Diomede War of 2035. Russia conquered little Diomede and USA conquered Big Diomede.

Yesterday Island & Tomorrow Island... That's both adorable and clever 😊

So none of them are vegan? How awful.

I was just looking on google earth and if you look at Yunaska Island there is a Snowy mountain or volcano and to the right of that there is a Massive disc shaped object that looks like it's either cloaking it's self to blend in with the ground or it kind of looks like it slammed into the ground and almost slid underneath it as if the ground was like a skin

BORN N RAISE N LIVING in Alaska

I would love to because I can live as a border guard and i can speak Russian.

wow, i am not anywhere near the diomede islands. i’m from tulsa Oklahoma. but for those of you who are from there or have ancestors from there, hello from oklahoma. you’ve got at least one person thinking about you from wayyy over here. 🤍

It would be really nice to see a video made by somebody that actually had been there. ;)

Fantastic humour in these 1970s documentaries!

A hoarse that s krazy
