The cruise ship was fast, and quickly approached the port on one side of the Bering Strait.
It was then that William Cole saw a small town near the strait. Because it was winter, the town was blanketed with snow, and everywhere lay piles of it.
A large number of wooden houses had been built along the harbor behind.
The cruise ship that had docked at the harbor was brightly lit.
Apart from those cruise ships, there were also several small cargo ships moored at the port. And 35 kilometers across from the port, another harbor could be seen.
The thirty-five kilometers over the sea were in plain view, and even a moderately powerful telescope could see the situation on the other side clearly.
Russia and the United States had always been in international competition. Unexpectedly, in the Bering Strait, there were two port towns facing each other.
