- Sea ice is different from glacier ice because it forms in the middle of the ocean from the seawater just freezing over, so you don't need to be near land or a glacier to see it.

37 Geography Facts You SHOULD Know!
- In the middle of the Bering Strait sit two tiny islands, Big Diomede, owned by Russia, and Little Diomede, owned by the United States. They're only about 2.5 miles apart, so close that on a clear day, you can see from one to the other. In winter, the water between them freezes solid, meaning you could technically walk from America to Russia right across the sea ice. Oh, and here's the kicker. Because of the international date line, Big Diomede is almost a full day ahead of Little Diomede. So you're not just crossing countries, you're walking into tomorrow. Number five. Most of humanity lives in just half the planet. If you drew a line around the globe at the equator, you'd find something surprising. 90% of all people on Earth live in the Northern Hemisphere. That includes nearly all of Asia, Europe, North America, and a big chunk of Africa. The Southern Hemisphere? Mostly oceans and far fewer people. So while the world feels massive, most of us are actually packed into just one side of it. Number six. The shortest commercial flight in the world lasts just 57 seconds. There's a flight in the Orkney Islands,
