Lillian Alling was an Eastern European immigrant to the United States, who in the 1920s attempted a return by foot to her homeland. Her four-year-long journey started in New York, and went westward across Canada, then north through British Columbia, the Yukon, and then west again, reaching Alaska by 1929. It is not known if Alling successfully crossed the Bering Strait to Russia.
