The New York Times – English – Wednesday April 5, 2006
An American and a British citizen were detained by Russian authorities after walking across the ice on the Bering Strait and making landfall on Russia’s Far East coast, Russian officials said. The men were completing one of the more difficult legs of a round-the-world walk by the Briton, Karl Bushby, above, and failed to register with the Russian authorities after coming ashore. The American citizen was identified as Dimitri Kieffer, 40, of Anchorage, Alaska.
