It was a stretch of glacier ice that connected russia with Alaska (Asia with North America) across the Bering strait. It formed during an ice age that let native peoples 20,000 years ago to settle into Canada and America, and further south, all the way to present-day Argentina and Chile. These are what we know as native Americans. They formed separate tribes over time. Today, we are still trying to mimic the effects of the ice age by building a real bridge. This gap is over 50 miles of icy, cold terrain. Thick air and temperatures would prevent people from seeing or breathing. Hypothermia would set in.
The Bering land bridge was created by the water levels decreasing.
The Bering land bridge
bridges and tunnels
When people crossed the bering land bridge :P

Beringia or the Bering Land Bridge
Neanderthals did not migrate across the Bering land bridge as they primarily inhabited Europe and parts of western Asia. The land bridge was used by early human populations to migrate from Asia to the Americas.
The Bering Land Bridge was is believed to be one of the first routes that Asian people used to migrate to america.
they crossed a bridge called beringia, or bering straight. it was created during the ice age when glaciers trapped so much water that the ocean levels dropped. a bridge of land, now called beringia, appeared where the bering straight is now. after that, when the earth grew warm again, glaciers melted and the bridge flooded.
