In the Bering Strait, there are a pair of small islands ... "Big Diomede" and "Little Diomede".
Big Diomede belongs to Russia. Little Diomede belongs to the USA (Alaska).
The solid land parts of their coasts come within about 2.4 miles of each other, and they're often
joined by a solid ice bridge for much of the year.
The International Dateline runs between the islands.
So you have two places that are about 2.4 miles apart. People could stand there and flash
mirrors at each other on a clear day, or flashlights on a clear night, and maybe even drive
snowmobiles across the ice during the winter. One of the places is in Russia, the other one
is in the USA, and it's never the same date, time, or day of the week at both places.
