RARE PHOTOS: The bering strait | Rare Historical Photos

Soviet engineer Petr Borisov proposed damming the Bering Strait to warm Siberia. This bold plan aimed to transform frozen lands into productive agricultural areas. Modern researchers now study closing the strait to stabilize ocean circulation. Their simulations explore impacts on the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation system. Scientists remain cautious about…

Building a dam in the Bering Strait might preserve the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, but experts warn it could also threaten wildlife, Indigenous people and shipping — and could actually speed up its demise.

The Bering Land Bridge likely didn't emerge until around 35,000 years ago, much later than was previously thought. This narrows the window of when humans could have crossed over to North America.

Evidence suggests that people likely boated across the narrow passage between Russia and Alaska when the crossing was submerged.
