Volume 5Have you visited The Diomedes, or St Lawrence Island?
Listener question & Gary’s response · Transcript passage
Glenn Folau asks, “Have you visited The Diomedes, or St Lawrence Island?”
No, I have not, nor are they high on my list of places to visit. The Diomedes are interesting because they are located so close to Russia and the International Date Line, but other than that, there isn’t much about them that is interesting. Likewise, St. Lawrence Island is interesting in that it is closer to Asia than mainland Alaska, but that’s about it.
Both of these places are very difficult to get to, and there are other Alaskan islands and parts of Alaska which I think are more interesting. For example, Round Island is a sanctuary for walruses, which I think would make for great photography and would actually be something to go and see.
I have planned a trip to Western Alaska in my head which would involve flying to Nome and visiting the Bering Land Bridge National Preserve and Cape Krusenstern National Monument.
