Can it be done without falling through the ice too?

I bet if the ice held up, you could do it without being noticed by officials in either Russia or Alaska. I don't think the ice would hold, but I'm not from the area. I know that sometimes the Great Lakes freeze up enough that you can drive on them, so the straight might freeze solid enough, but I doubt it. Please tell me this is just hypothetical.

Yes you can, My grandpa was stationed near their and the U.S. & U.S.S.R. both have check points 10 miles out from their borders only in the winter time. You can drive a car across it , it's like 200 feet or more thick and will take you about 1 hour to cross even tho it's only 45 miles across from the US to USSR you can't drive to fast on ice.

I don't think the Bering Straight has been firmly connected for quite some time (hundreds of years, if not thousands). I imagine if it were, and you had adequate credentials (passport, etc.), then it could be done.

No, you can't. But no because of some immigration silliness; only because it's impossible. Imagine cracks hundred of feet deep. This not a smooth surface for you to don your pair of skates and glide across.
