Bering Strait

Strait between Alaska and Siberia, linking the North Pacific and Arctic oceans.

The channel, which separates the continents of North America and Asia, is about 65 km/40 mi wide at its narrowest part, but is wider at the northern and southern extremities. There are numerous bays on either side of the strait, where the waters are frozen over for several months each year. The Bering Sea is a part of the North Pacific Ocean, and is situated between Bering Strait and the Aleutian Islands.
