The Ancient Land Bridge of Beringia
<p>Beringia, an ancient land bridge that formerly united Asia and North America, had a significant impact on Earth’s natural and human history. Beringia, which stretches from Siberia to Alaska, formed during the last glacial period, allowing plants, animals, and later humans to migrate.</p>

<p>Beringia owes its existence to the fluctuating sea levels of the Pleistocene epoch, which peaked approximately 20,000 years ago. As vast ice sheets covered much of North America and Eurasia, sea levels fell, exposing a land bridge over 1,000 km wide. This land bridge remained in place for thousands of years, forming a one-of-a-kind conduit connecting continents.</p>
