The population of all countries including India is increasing with time.

Today we will tell you about one such town which would not be wrong if it is called ‘Loneliest town on earth’.

According to the report of the Daily Star News website, a town in America (USA town loneliest in the world) is so deserted that if you go here, you will feel as if you have come to another world. The surprising thing is that this place is only 3 kilometers away from Russia. Actually, it is a small island named Little Diomede (Little Diomede island, USA). This island is made up of about 8 square kilometers and is 3 kilometers away from the Russian island Big Diomede. There is an ocean between the two.

77 people live on the island
Both islands are present in the middle of the Gulf of Bering near Alaska. Only 77 people live on this small island of America. In earlier times, there was a lot of communication between the people of these two islands. During the cold days, water used to freeze between the two islands, due to which an icy bridge was formed. With this, people could easily travel from one island to another. Marriages used to happen between the people of the island, their beliefs and practices were also similar. But due to the Cold War, the relationship between the two deteriorated and now the situation is worse due to the war in Ukraine.

temperature drops to -14 degrees
The people here say that they are in danger from the enemy country as well as from the deadly polar bears who are considered to be dreaded hunters.
