The international dateline roughly follows the 180th degree of longitute, but there are several major deviations to avoid going near any land areas. In the north, the dateline jogs around the islands of Alaska ( the Aleutians ) to avoid having any islands being on a different day than the rest. So the far east end of Siberia is a different day than the Alaskan islands, even though some of them are over the 180th.
