By Matt White at coffeeordie.com - The day after Christmas, a pregnant woman crashed on a snowmobile outside an Alaskan village so remote that it is closer to mainland Russia than to the nearest hospital. The woman was riding a snowmachine in Kipnuk, a tiny village on the Bering Sea, just over 400 miles from Russian soil but closer to 500 miles from Anchorage, home to the closest hospitals with obstetric emergency care.
