People have both bicycled and run around the world, but the oceans have had to be covered by air or sea travel, making the distance shorter than the ''Guinness'' guidelines.{{Citation needed|date=March 2024}} To go from North America to Asia on foot is theoretically possible but very difficult. It involves crossing the [[Bering Strait]] on the ice, and around {{convert|3000|km|mi}} of roadless swamped or freezing cold areas in Alaska and eastern Russia. No one has so far travelled all of this route by foot. [[David Kunst]] was the first person that Guinness verified to have walked around the world between 20 June 1970 and 5 October 1974, by "[walking] 23,250 km (14,450 miles) through four continents".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/first-circumnavigation-by-walking|title=First circumnavigation by walking|website=Guinness World Records|language=en-GB|access-date=2020-01-12}}</ref>
