Bering Strait Geography Map of Bering Strait and surrounding areas Little Diomede and Big Diomede Islands These two islands are situated in the middle of the Bering Strait 3 km apart. The Russian/American border (also the International Date Line) runs between them. The smaller of these granite ...

What is the Bering Strait land bridge?The Last Glacial PeriodThe last Ice Age last from about 115,000 to 11.700 years ago (in rough estimates). Because the glaciers in the Northern Hemisphere trapped so much water on the land the overall level of the global ocean dropped significantly....
Influenced by northeasterly winds, ice advances via both local formation and advective processes from the Bering Strait region into the Bering Sea, with much of the eastern shelf at least partially covered by ice beginning in late fall (October–November) through early spring (March–April). The...
Bering Strait, strait linking the Arctic Ocean with the Bering Sea and separating the continents of Asia and North America at their closest point. The strait averages 98 to 164 feet (30 to 50 metres) in depth and at its narrowest is about 53 miles (85 km
In particular, we show that storms centered over the Bering Sea excite continental shelf waves on the eastern Bering shelf that carry northward velocity anomalies northward through Bering Strait and along the Chukchi coast. The integrated effect of these storms tends to decrease the northward Bering ...
Fig. 9. Characteristics of whale use and the physical environment for the Anadyr Strait core-use area, including (a) timing of occupancy (tagging data), (b) sea ice concentration (SSM/I and SSMIS data), (c) time-at-depth (tagging data), (d) map of bottom salinity gradient with core...
We created, for the first time, a map of sea ice production in the Bering Sea, based on thin-ice thickness data from the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometers (AMSR-E and AMSR2) with a heat flux calculation. We used the AMSR-E thin-ice algorithm developed for the Arctic Ocean with ...
on the typical route of the Anadyr Current (centered on the Gulf of Anadyr) (Figure 5d). The Anadyr Current flows clockwise along the Gulf of Anadyr, supplying highly nutritious Anadyr Water to the western Bering Sea, and, in turn, passes the Anadyr Strait, the Chirikov Basin, the Be...
