Detailed explanation-1: -Map of what was once Beringia. Beringia is the land and maritime area between the Lena River in Russia and the Mackenzie River in Canada and marked on the north by 72 degrees north latitude in the Chuckchi Sea and on the south on the tip of the Kamchatka Peninsula.
Detailed explanation-2: -The land bridge was called the Bering Land Bridge, also known as Beringia. It connected Asia to North America during the Ice Age, a time when glaciers and ice sheets covered a large area of the planet. At its widest point, Beringia is believed to have been about 1, 000 miles (1, 600 km) from north to south.
Detailed explanation-3: -A new study that reconstructs the history of sea level at the Bering Strait shows that the Bering Land Bridge connecting Asia to North America did not emerge until around 35, 700 years ago, less than 10, 000 years before the height of the last ice age (known as the Last Glacial Maximum).
