Description
It was the year 1990. Only three miles across the Bering Strait, you could see the land of your friends and family, but traveling there was forbidden. You were on Little Diomede Island in the US, but they were on Big Diomede Island, in what was then known as the USSR. During the Cold War, the people of Beringia were thus separated.
