The Aleutian chain of islands in Alaska stretches across the meridian of
180 degrees longitude into the eastern Hemisphere, but does not cross
the International Date Line.
If it did, then the state of Alaska would have two different calendar dates ...
a total living nightmare.
The International Date line has been defined with several zigs and zags in it,
in order to avoid crossing any cities, towns, villages, islands, or states.

∙ 10y agoI can't swear that the International Dateline doesn't cross a prominent sandbar,
an uninhabited atoll, or a large albatross colony on a dung-caked rock somewhere
in the Pacific, but I do know that it doesn't cross any island with known human inhabitants.
