Why go there?
Bering Land Bridge National Preserve is one of the most remote areas protected by the National Park Service, and is a unique natural and cultural treasure. Spanning over 2.7 million acres, it preserves the remnants of the ancient Bering Land Bridge that once connected North America and Asia, enabling the migration of early humans. The preserve is a vital habitat for diverse wildlife, from caribou to nesting seabirds. Visitors can explore its stunning landscapes, archaeological sites, and the rich history of indigenous cultures including the Inupiaq and Yup'ik people. It stands as a living testament to Earth's dynamic past and the resilience of its ecosystems.
