screenshot of a post by the David Attenborough Club that says "The Diomede Islands are located between Alaska and Siberia. They are only 2.4 miles (3.8 km) apart, but due to locally defined time zones, Big Diomede is 21 hours ahead of Little Diomede. This unique geographical feature has earned them the nickname 'Tomorrow Island' for Big Diomede and 'Yesterday Island' for Little Diomede." This is followed by pictures of the islands from above and from the side, and this url for further info: bit.ly/3BoUHFOALT

If that doesn’t have potential for some fairytale nonsense, I don’t know what does.

In the right wintry conditions, an ice bridge forms between the Diomede Islands in the Bering Strait. Theoretically, this is the only place where you can walk from Russia to the United States (and vice versa), however travel between one Diomede to the other is strictly forbidden.

On the West side sits Russia’s Big Diomede with a population of 0. The smaller Little Diomede to the East has a small population of 82 (as of 2021).

A bridge between Today and Yesterday, you say? Only there at the right time of year, with a certain amount of luck?

That absolutely has the makings of a quest destination.
