Alaska has many bodies of water bordering it. To the north is the Arctic Ocean and Beaufort Sea. To the northwest is the Chukchi Sea. The Bering Strait and Bering Sea lie along the west and southwest of Alaska, as well as the north of the Aleutian Islands. The Pacific Ocean borders the southern coastline of Alaska.
The land bridge connecting Asia and North America is called Beringia. It was located in the present-day Bering Strait between Siberia and Alaska. This land bridge emerged during the last Ice Age when sea levels dropped, allowing early humans to migrate to North America.
Some did. But there were relatively few species that inhabited the tundra of Siberia at the time that human migration is suggested. Like the Inuit, they would have hunted existing Arctic species before moving into the temperate climates of North America.
Vitus Bering died on December 8, 1741, during his expedition to chart the waters between Russia and North America. He succumbed to scurvy on Bering Island, which is named after him.
