Bering Land Bridge National Preserve




Bering Land Bridge National Preserve is a remnant of the land bridge that connected Asia with North America more than 13,000 years ago. The land bridge itself is now overlain by the Chukchi Sea and the Bering Sea. During the glacial epoch this was part of a migration route for people, animals, and plants whenever ocean levels fell enough to expose the land bridge. Archeologists agree that it was across this Bering Land Bridge, also called Beringia, that humans first passed from Asia to populate the Americas.



Recommended Activities

  • Visit the visitor center in Nome, Alaska.
  • Enjoy birdwatching. The preserve is home to raptors, waterfowl, and some rare Asiatic species.
  • Fly out to Serpentine Hot Springs and spend a few nights in the bunkhouse while you hike, sightsee, fish, and relax in the hot springs' hot tub.
