The Bering Strait is a 82-kilometer-wide strait between the Pacific and Arctic oceans, separating the Chukchi Peninsula of Russia from the Seward Peninsula of Alaska. It is believed to have opened 4.8-7.4 million years ago and is thought to have been a key factor in the migration of humans from Asia to North America across a land bridge known as Beringia. The strait has been the subject of numerous expeditions and crossings, including successful crossings on foot and by boat, and has been visited by explorers such as James Cook and Vitus Bering.learn more on wikipedia
