The Bering Land Bridge National Preserve is one of the most remote Protected areas of the United States, located on the Seward Peninsula. [3] The National Preserve protects a remnant of the Bering Land Bridge that connected Asia with North America more than 13,000 years ago during the Pleistocene ice age . [ 4 ]
Beringia sea levels (blues) and land elevations (browns) measured in metres from 21,000 years ago to present. Beringia is defined today as the land and maritime area bounded on the west by the Lena River in Russia; on the east by the Mackenzie River in Canada; on the north by 72° north latitude in the Chukchi Sea; and on the south by the tip of the Kamchatka Peninsula.

Map of early human migrations based on the Out of Africa theory; figures are in thousands of years ago (kya). [1]The peopling of the Americas began when Paleolithic hunter-gatherers (Paleo-Indians) entered North America from the North Asian Mammoth steppe via the Beringia land bridge, which had formed between northeastern Siberia and western Alaska due to the lowering of sea level during the ...
Since an earlier presence of humans predates the last major Ice Age and the Bering Land Bridge, this suggests that migrants from Asia or elsewhere came to the Americas by sea, down the Atlantic or ...
North Pole view of the Bering Strait. A Bering Strait crossing is a hypothetical bridge or tunnel that would span the relatively narrow and shallow Bering Strait between the Chukotka Peninsula in Russia and the Seward Peninsula in the U.S. state of Alaska. The crossing would provide a connection linking the Americas and Afro-Eurasia.
The Bering Strait has been the subject of the scientific theory that humans migrated from Asia to North America across a land bridge known as Beringia when lower ocean levels – a result of glaciers locking up vast amounts of water – exposed a wide stretch of the sea floor, [1] both at the present strait and in the shallow sea north and ...
Peopling of the Americas: When Paleolithic hunter-gatherers entered North America from the North Asian Mammoth steppe via the Beringia land bridge; Last Glacial Maximum: The most recent time during the Last Glacial Period that ice sheets were at their greatest extent. Rock of Solutré: Solutrean culture type site.
The Bering Land Bridge (aka Beringia), which intermittently connected Alaska (Northern America) with Siberia as sea levels rose and fell under the effect of ice ages; Land bridges of Japan, several land bridges which connected Japan to Russia and Korea at various times in history
