Bering Sea

The Bering Sea is a marginal sea of the Northern Pacific Ocean, forming the divide between Eurasia and the Americas, with a deep water basin that rises into shallower water above the continental shelves. It covers over 2 million square kilometers and is bordered by Alaska, the Russian Far East, and the Kamchatka Peninsula. The Bering Sea ecosystem is characterized by a vigorous and productive system due to the interaction between currents, sea ice, and weather. The area includes resources within the jurisdiction of the United States and Russia, as well as international waters in the middle of the sea, known as the "Donut Hole". The Bering Sea is thought to be the first point of entry of humans into the Americas, with the "Bering land bridge" allowing humans to migrate east from Asia to North America during the last ice age.learn more on wikipedia
