    Wow I spend almost every day of my life staring at maps for hours and was still shocked. From what I can figure, Maine is still closer, but only just barely. I did not expect it to be that close of a competition at all

      Alaska is massive, there are islands south of Russia that are in Alaska. Also yeah I didn’t realize how close it was, but I always forget the earth isn’t flat

        I wish I had the freedom in life to see all of the Aleutians. Genuinely so fucking beautiful. In fact, I’m probably going to make a post about them today
