With reference to Anadyr (in Siberia, Russia) and Nome (in Alaska, USA), two towns separated by the Bering Strait, consider the following statements:

1. Despite being geographically close (only a few hundred kilometres apart), the two towns can be on different calendar dates because the International Date Line passes between them.

2. The International Date Line broadly follows the 180° meridian but deviates to avoid splitting some landmasses and territories.

Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
