The Bering Sea is a sea located in the Northern Pacific Ocean. It was explored in the year 1728 by a Danish navigator named Vitus Bering. It forms along the landmass known as the Bering Strait, which connects North America to Eurasia. It is separated by the Gulf of Alaska and the Alaska Peninsula.

- Bering Strait
- The Bering Strait is a strait of the Pacific, which separates Russia and the United States slightly south of the Arctic Circle. The Strait has been the subject of the scientific hypothesis that humans migrated from Asia to North America across a land bridge known as Beringia when lower ocean levels – perhaps a result of glaciers locking up vast amounts of water – exposed a wide stretch of the sea floor, both at the present strait and in the shallow sea north and south of it.
