Ice Age Beringia

Ice Age Beringia was a land bridge that connected Asia and North America during the last Ice Age, roughly 20,000 to 10,000 years ago. Massive ice sheets and lower sea levels exposed this land, allowing humans, animals, and plants to migrate between continents. It played a crucial role in the movement of early peoples and wildlife, shaping the exchange of species and cultures. As the Ice Age ended and glaciers melted, rising sea levels covered Beringia, separating the continents again and shaping the world’s ecological and human history.
