The Yukon Beringia Interpretive Centre is a research and exhibition facility located at km 1423 (Mile 886) on the Alaska Highway in Whitehorse, Yukon, which opened in 1997. The focus of the interpretive centre is the story of Beringia, the 3200 km landmass stretching from the Kolyma River in Siberia to the MacKenzie River in Canada, which remained non-glaciated during the Pleistocene due to light snowfall from an arid climate. Beringia is of special interest to archeologists and paleontologists as it played a crucial role in the migrations of many animals and humans between Asia and the Americas. The term Beringia was first coined by the Swedish botanist Eric Hultén in 1937.

  • Das Yukon Beringia Interpretive Centre ist eine Forschungs- und Ausstellungsstätte in Whitehorse im kanadischen Yukon. Sie wurde 1997 eröffnet. Der Fokus des Interpretive centre ist Beringia, ein Gebiet zwischen Ostsibirien und dem Yukon, das in den letzten rund 70 Millionen Jahren immer wieder eine Brücke zwischen Asien und Amerika darstellte. Der bis zu 125 m unter dem heutigen Meeresspiegel liegende Küstensaum stellt für die Besiedlung Amerikas ein wichtiges Forschungsgebiet dar, zumal hier die wohl ältesten Relikte menschlicher Kulturen in Nordostasien und Nordamerika gefunden wurden. Eric Hultén, ein schwedischer Botaniker, hatte den Namen „Beringia“ 1937 vorgeschlagen. Heute umfasst das Forschungsgebiet Beringia das Gebiet zwischen dem nordrussischen Kolyma und dem Mackenzie in Kanad (de)

  • Центр интерпретации Юкон — Беренгия — научно-выставочный центр, расположенный на 1423 км (миля 886) на Аляскинской трассы в Уайтхорсе, Юкон. Центр открылся в 1997 году. В центре внимания интерпретационного центра находится история Берингии, участка суши длиной 3200 км, простирающегося от реки Колыма в Сибири до реки Маккензи в Канаде. Данная территория оставалась в плейстоцене незамерзшей из-за небольших снегопадов с следствие засушливого климата. Берингия вызывает особый интерес у археологов и палеонтологов, поскольку она сыграла решающую роль в миграциях многих животных и людей между Азией и Америкой. Термин «Берингия» был впервые введен шведским ботаником Эриком Хультеном в 1937 году. (ru)
