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.

The new day starts in the Pacific Ocean at the International Date Line, which is an imaginary line located at 180 degrees longitude. This is where the date changes as one moves across it from west to east.
