The majority of this land bridge, once thousands of miles wide, now lies beneath the waters of the Chukchi and Bering Seas. 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.   The Preserve's western boundary lies 42 miles from the Bering Strait and the fishing boundary between the United States and Russia.     CONTACTS Email - WEAR_Webmail@nps.gov Fax- 907-443-6139 Write to National Park Service P.O.
