The "Land Bridge" was a theoretical "ice bridge" between East Russia and Alaka which enabled the Native Americans to travel to America. It was caused because of the most recent Ice Age because the Arctic Ice advanced to the Bering Strait (the body of water that currently seperates Alaska and Russia). There is no Land Bridge now because when the Ice Age ended the ice melted , which left only water.
