Now you really can see Russia from your house!
… if you live on an uninhabited island in the middle of the Bering Strait, anyway.
Found this on FP Passport: a webcam on the (US) island of Little Diomede, which points at the (Russian) island of Big Diomede, or Ratmanov Island.
On a clear day the view’s rather good, too.
Slate helpfully points out that, thanks to the International Date Line, this webcam really does show you the future. Cool.
Off to France for a week - light blogging ahead.
