The Bering Strait, named after Vitus Bering, is a body of water between Eastern Russia and Alaska, "divided into 2 channels by the two Diomede Islands." [1] The Bering Strait opens into the Bering Sea.

Recently, talk of a tunnel under the strait has been on the front-burner, however, the high cost of same will certainly be a factor, but imagine driving from Alaska to Russia. Wow, what a concept!"
