It's about three miles between the big and little Diomede Islands in the Bearing Straight. One island is in the USA...the other in Russia.

"How wide is Bering Strait? What is the shortest distance from the USA and Siberia?
The shortest distance from the USA and Siberia is 55 miles across Bering Strait from Cape Prince of Wales in Alaska to Cape Dezhnev in Russia. The Diomede Islands lie en route, the larger island owned by Russia."
But, that may change as islands change hands!
