Youre a deck hand on a North Atlantic fishing boat. Youve been at sea for a couple months, youre tired, youre cold, and you think the rest of the crew might be planning to eat you if the food stores run out. Then one day, while youre on deck doing whatever it is that deck hands do (I dont think it has anything to do with caressing the deck with your hands, but I could be wrong), you glimpse something odd on the shore of a tiny island by which you just happen to be passing. You see towering white spires, arranged in a double row all along the shoreline....... What Ive just described is the scene youd find if you travelled to a tiny Bering Sea island called Yttygran, which sits near the Cape of Chaplino in the Russian Federated Territories also known as Siberia.
Wow, and I thought Sarah Palin had good eyesight to see Siberia from her house. North Atlantic to Siberia is a stretch.

Palin never said any such thing.

Ha Ha Ha!
They should have said “North Pacific”!
(And although Tina Fey thought she was being clever in mocking Sarah, there actually ARE islands in the Bering Strait that are part of the United States, where you can SEE other islands in the Bering Strait that are part of Russia.
