Bering Land Bridge National Preserve

Bering Land Bridge National Preserve in Alaska protects the area that once connected Asia and North America during the last Ice Age, roughly 20,000 to 30,000 years ago. This land bridge allowed ancient humans and animals to migrate between continents. Today, the preserve features rugged landscapes, tundra, and diverse wildlife like bears, musk oxen, and migratory birds. It offers opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking, wildlife observation, and cultural exploration of native history. The preserve also helps scientists studying climate change, archaeology, and the history of human migration across the Bering Strait region.
