On a clear day, though, a person standing at sea level can see a little less than three miles across the ocean. You can see farther if you go higherâat the highest altitude on Little Diomede (919 feet), you can see for about 37 miles. (Between mid-December and mid-June, when the water between the two islands freezes, an intrepid explorer can just walk from one to the other.)

Image via the Cassini spacecraft, which has been orbiting Saturn since 2004. This image was acquired by Cassini on July 19, 2013.
