Alaska man accidentally crosses Bering Sea, lands in Russia
An Alaskan man John Martin, boating down the Yukon River in his one-seater, accidentally entered the Bering Sea before crossing over into Russia's Chukotka region. The US Embassy in Moscow said it was working with local authorities to assist the detained American citizen. The countries are divided by the Bering Strait, which is 85 kilometres wide at its narrowest point.
