Also relevant: Beringia[0]. The huge area of land between Russia and Alaska that has since been covered in water. When people talk about a land bridge between the two, it's not like it was a small narrow bit above the waves that you quickly crossed. It was the size of a country! > Commencing from c. 57,000 YBP, steppe–tundra vegetation dominated large parts of Beringia with a rich diversity of grasses and herbs. There were patches of shrub tundra with isolated refugia of larch and spruce forests with birch and alder trees. It has been proposed that the largest and most diverse megafaunal community residing in Beringia at this time could only have been sustained in a highly diverse and productive environment. There are archeological treasures down below those waters that could tell us so much about the history of the first peoples to come to North America.
