Crazy fact: the Bering Strait is only 100 to 165 feet deep (~45m). 45m x 88km length = 4,000,000 m^2 times whatever thickness. Makes sense the strait is shall

Crazy fact: the Bering Strait is only 100 to 165 feet deep (~45m). 45m x 88km length = 4,000,000 m^2 times whatever thickness. Makes sense the strait is shallow given the whole prehistoric migration, but in my mind it was much deeper, probably because of its proximity to the Pacific (max 30k+ ft) and the Bering Sea (max 12k ft).
