Across the Bering Strait. The strait is approximately 90 km (56 mile) wide. In March, 2006, Briton Karl Bushby and French American adventurer Dimitri Kieffer crossed the strait on foot, walking across a frozen 90 km (56 mile) section in 15 days. (BBC) (although they were soon arrested for not entering Russia through a border control.)

It's an absolute minimum of 51 (52?) miles between Eurafroasia and the Americas, and only a few miles between those two Diomede islands. It is possible to see America standing on Russia, (a 2000 foot mountain)
And if all the ice caps melt, there'll be more islands in the middle, because the water will flood much of the land.

I didn't look it up but I think two miles is right. It's the distance between two islands.
