Through the Ice Curtain: An Eskimo Reunion (Bering Straits Project) MS 269
A documentary following the journey of 12 Yup'ik people from St. Lawrence Island (Gambell) to visit relatives and other Yup'ik people and communities in Soviet Siberia in 1988. The schooner Cyrano, piloted by Dr. David Lewis and Dr. Mimi George made the historic journey across the Bering Strait.
Toward the last village before the Russian border.(2)
Native Alaskans given right to travel visa-free to Russia
Under an intergovernmental agreement between the US and Russia, traveling from both sides of the Bering Straits Region will be visa-free.
The visa-free travels will be carried out with a special passport insert issued to indigenous Alaskans.
Along with a passport, the programme requires documented invitations from relatives or residents from the destination of travel.
Vera Metcalf, a native leader who works with the State Department in Nome, announced on Friday that the visa-free agreement will cover up to 90 days of travel.
Metcalf, who still has many relatives in Chukotka, said I'm excited about it.
Alaskans and Chutka natives maintain cultural links between the regions. Some natives still have relatives on the other side of the strait.
For the past three years, Alaskan natives have been required to obtain a visa to visit Chukotka, while indigenous people on the Russian side did not due to a pact that was signed by the both countries in 1989.
In Alaska, entry checkpoints were set up in Nome and Gambell, while Russia’s are in Anadyr, Provideniya, Lavrentiya and Uelen, RT reported.

New Arma 2 Map Chukotka
I threw this trailer together in the hopes that some server owners will be interested in hosting my map or at least help me set it up for public servers. I was working with one admin, and created the public/private keys, as well as signing each .pbo, but we hit a few roadblocks and so far no luck. If anyone has any advice or is interested in hosting it for the first public release, please contact me!

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Wrangel Island (Russian: о́стров Вра́нгеля, tr. ostrov Vrangelya, IPA: [ˈostrəf ˈvrangʲɪlʲə]) is an island in the Arctic Ocean, between the Chukchi Sea and East Siberian Sea. Wrangel Island lies astride the 180° meridian. The International Date Line is displaced eastwards at this latitude to avoid the island as well as the Chukchi Peninsula on the Russian mainland. The closest land to Wrangel Island is the tiny and rocky Herald Island located 60 km (37 mi) to the east. The distance to the closest point on the mainland is 140 km (87 mi). Wrangel Island may have been the last place on earth where mammoths survived.
Most of Wrangel Island, and Herald Island, is a federally protected nature sanctuary administered by Russia's Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment. The island, and its surrounding waters, were classified as a Zapovednik (a strict nature reserve) in 1976 and, as such, receive the highest level of protection and exclude practically all human activity other than for scientific purposes. The Chukotka Regional government extended the marine protected area out to 24 nautical miles in 1999. As of 2003, there were four rangers who reside on the island year-round. In addition a core group of about 12 scientists conduct research during the summer months.
Wrangel Island is about 125 km (78 mi) wide and 7,600 km2 (2,900 sq mi) in area. It consists of a southern coastal plain that is as wide as 15 km (9.3 mi); a central belt of low-relief mountains; and a northern coastal plain that is as wide as 25 km (16 mi). The east-west trending central mountain belt, the Tsentral'nye Mountain Range, is as much as 40 km (25 mi) wide and 145 km (90 mi) long from coast to coast. Typically, the mountains are a little over 500 m (1,600 ft) above mean sea level. The highest mountain on this island is Sovetskaya Mountain with an elevation of 1,096 m (3,596 ft) above mean sea level. The east-west trending mountain range terminates at sea cliffs at either end of the island.Wrangel Island belongs administratively to the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug of the Russian Federation. This rocky island has a weather station and, formerly, two Chukchi fishing settlements on the southern side of the island (Ushakovskoye and Zvyozdny on the shore of Somnitelnaya Bay).
