    My grandad lived on little Diomede as an elementary school teacher with my grandmother. He lived there during the cold war era so he had a lot of great stories. He said that he could see soviet spies looking at him if he used binoculars from across the ice, and that the natives sometime traveled across the ice and talked to the Russians, and they would sometime bring messages to each other. There was also once a polar bear that lived underneath the elementary school that needed to be driven out.

      There are flights everyday as long as weather is good. Flights in the winter with the ice runway l and helicopter in the summer on the pad. Diesel is shipped in by boat for the generators. They earn their income from various jobs. I didn’t use internet there. They have cell towers at the top of the mountain for phones. They have a public shower in the laundrymat since there is no running water in the houses: only outhouse style toilets.

I realize the Russians have non-permanent residents stationed somewhere over there for at least part of the year, and that the indigenous inhabitants were forcibly relocated by Russia to the Russian mainland. I also wonder what happened to that community, btw.

      No, there are just 100 people there. Some of their jobs are just catching seals to eat for dinner. You don’t need much money to live up there since it’s subsistence living. You go find your food in nature.
