Imagine waking up on your island home, to know your neighbors on an island two miles away will soon be eating the next day’s breakfast.

This is the real scenario for the residents of the two Diomede islands: Big Diomede and Little Diomede. Despite being just 2.4 miles (3.8 km) apart, they have a 21-hour time difference. No wonder they are also known as Tomorrow Island (Big Diomede) and Yesterday Island (Little Diomede).
