Beringia was a land bridge that connected Asia and North America during the last Ice Age. This area, now submerged under the Bering Strait, allowed animals and early humans to migrate between the two continents. It played a crucial role in the movement of species, including the ancestors of Native Americans, who crossed this bridge in search of new habitats and resources. The climate in Beringia was unique, featuring a mix of tundra and grasslands that supported diverse wildlife, such as mammoths and woolly rhinoceroses. As the Ice Age ended and temperatures rose, rising sea levels submerged Beringia, forever changing the landscape and isolating the continents.
