There is one route....bit cold, mind...also, only possible in a really cold winter!
Wait for the Bering Strait to freeze over and hope to survive....
There are people who have done it with modified military amphibian vehicles!

Virtually - but not quite - impossible. Do a search on the site for MAgadan and Alaska - you'll find some answers, most not good - the onlyshipper is extremely erratic - some years yes, some no. Normal route is via Japan and the ferry to Vladivostok.

No such thing. First thing is getting permission to cross in the first place - it will run you around US$100 a day for a full time guide. There is no other way except illegally.

No. Not legally.
MANY people ask about these routes, and all have spent enormous amounts of time trying - and less than a handful have done any of it.
Do a lot of searching and reading on the HUBB, it's all been asked and answered.
