The Bering Land Bridge National Preserve is one of the most remote United States national park areas, located on the Seward Peninsula. The National Preserve protects a remnant of the Bering Land Bridge that connected Asia with North America more than 13,000 years ago during the Pleistocene ice age. The majority of this land bridge, once thousands of miles wide, now lies beneath the waters of the Chukchi and Bering Seas.

- The Bering Land Bridge National Preserve is one of the most remote United States national park areas, located on the Seward Peninsula. The National Preserve protects a remnant of the Bering Land Bridge that connected Asia with North America more than 13,000 years ago during the Pleistocene ice age. The majority of this land bridge, once thousands of miles wide, now lies beneath the waters of the Chukchi and Bering Seas. During the glacial epoch this was part of a migration route for people, animals, and plants whenever ocean levels fell enough to expose the land bridge. Archeologists agree that it was across this Bering Land Bridge, also called Beringia, that humans first migrated from Asia to populate the Americas. The preserve was originally established on December 1, 1978, as Bering Land Bridge National Monument. On December 2, 1980, the designation was changed to a National Preserve. The Preserve's western boundary lies 42 miles from the Bering Strait and the fishing boundary between the United States and Russia. There are no roads into the preserve. Access to the preserve is by bush planes or boats during summer months and by ski planes, snowmobiles or dog sleds during the winter. Bering Land Bridge National Preserve contains several sites of geological and prehistorical significance. Serpentine Hot Springs is the preserve's most visited location, with the surrounding area used for subsistence and holistic activities by Native Alaskan's since time immemorial. These activities continue today with locals from the surrounding area coming to enjoy the hot springs and scenery. Less visited but just as significant locations in the preserve include the Trail Creek Caves, Devil Mountain Lakes, and the Lost Jim Lava Flow. There has been debate in recent years over allowing road access to the preserve, however this been highly contested by some individuals.
- Das Bering Land Bridge National Preserve ist ein Naturschutzgebiet unter der Verwaltung des National Park Services im Norden der Seward-Halbinsel von Alaska am Übergang des Kotzebue Sounds zur Tschuktschensee. Kap Espenberg, der nördlichste Punkt des Schutzgebiets, liegt wenige Kilometer über dem Polarkreis. Die Kontinentale Wasserscheide, die die Einzugsgebiete des Pazifiks und des Nordpolarmeers trennt, verläuft durch den südlichen Teil des Preserves. Unter Schutz gestellt sind die Reste von Beringia, einer während der Eiszeit des Pleistozän bis vor etwa 10.000 Jahren bestehenden Landbrücke zwischen Nordamerika und Asien, über die die ersten Menschen von Sibirien kommend auf den amerikanischen Kontinent eingewandert waren. Das Schutzgebiet wurde am 1. Dezember 1978 als National Monument gegründet. Am 2. Dezember 1980 wurde der Status durch den Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act auf den eines National Preserves geändert. Das Bering Land Bridge National Preserve beinhaltet mehrere Plätze von geologischer und prähistorischer Bedeutung. Die heißen Quellen von Serpentine Hot Springs wurden und werden von den Ureinwohnern Alaskas genutzt. In den Trail Creek Caves, einer Gruppe von zwölf Höhlen, wurden 8500 Jahre alte Steingeräte gefunden. Der Lost Jim Lava Flow ist ein Lavastrom aus dem Holozän. Es führen keine Straßen in das Gebiet. Im Sommer kann es per Flugzeug oder Schiff erreicht werden, im Winter auch mit Schneemobilen oder Hundeschlitten.
