Forbidden Places in the World You Can Never Visit

8. Big Diomede Island, Russia

There are these two islands in the Bering Strait, Big Diomede and Little Diomede, that mark the border between the US and Russia. Little Diomede is on the American side, and only about 100 or so people live there. Big Diomede, on the Russian side, isn’t really livable, so it’s mainly used as a Russian weather station.
