The U.S. state closest to the International Date Line is Alaska. Specifically, the Aleutian Islands, which are part of Alaska, extend into the Bering Sea and are situated just east of the Date Line. This geographic positioning means that some Aleutian islands are technically in a different time zone, making them one of the first places to experience a new day.
