Beringia is a loosely defined region surrounding the Bering Strait, the Chukchi Sea, and the Bering Sea. It includes parts of Chukotka and Kamchatka in Russia as well as Alaska in the United States. The area includes land lying on the North American plate, and Siberian land east of the Siberian Chersky Range. In historical contexts it also includes the Bering land bridge, an ancient land bridge that was up to 1,000 kilometres (620 mi) wide at its greatest extent and which covered an area as large as British Columbia and Alberta together (1,600,000 square kilometres (620,000 sq mi)). This land bridge connected Asia and North America at various times during the Pleistocene ice ages.
The term Beringia was coined by the Swedish botanist Eric Hultén in 1937. During the ice ages, Beringia, like most of Siberia and all of north and northeast China, was not glaciated because snowfall was very light. It was a grassland steppe, including the land bridge, that stretched for hundreds of kilometres into the continents on either side. It is believed that a small human population of at most a few thousand arrived in Beringia from eastern Siberia after the Last Glacial Maximum, before expanding to populate the Americas sometime after 16,500 years ago, during the Late Glacial Maximum as the American glaciers blocking the way southward melted, but before the bridge was covered by the sea about 11,000 years BP
A land bridge, in biogeography, is an isthmus or wider land connection between otherwise separate areas, over which animals and plants are able to cross and colonise new lands. A land bridge can be created by marine regression, in which sea levels fall, exposing shallow, previously submerged sections of continental shelf; or when new land is created by plate tectonics; or occasionally when the sea floor rises due to post-glacial rebound after an ice age.
A rail land bridge refers to the transport of containers by rail between ports on either side of a land mass, such as North America. Jean-Paul Rodrigue defined a rail land bridge as having two characteristics: First, a single bill of lading issued by the freight forwarder that covers the entire journey, and second, the freight remains in the same container for the total transit. One example of a rail land bridge is the Eurasian Land Bridge. A transcontinental railroad can be a type of land bridge.
A land bridge is a connection between two otherwise unconnected areas of land.

Malaysia must be steadfast in enhancing its ports’ competitiveness and productivity, instead of worrying about Thailand’s proposed land bridge project, said Transport Minister Anthony Loke. “What’s important is that we must improve ourselves in terms of efficiency, resilience, and productivity. Shipping lines will only come to your ports when you have cargo to take in and take out. There is nothing to be worried about,” he said at the media conference, after chairing the National Logistics Taskforce meeting yesterday.

Postglacial Flooding of the Bering Land Bridge: A Geospatial Animation During the Last Glacial Maximum, about 21,000 years ago, global sea level was approximately 120 m (400 ft) lower than today. The Bering Land Bridge existed as a vast tundra plain connecting Asia and North America. As the world's glaciers and ice sheets melted over the following millenia, rising sea level flooded the land bridge — blocking migration routes for animals and humans. The land bridge animation is based on the best available digital information, and reveals large-scale patterns of shifting coastlines and environments as the land bridge evolved. Bathymetry and elevation are color-coded in 1000 calendar-year time steps. Animation completed in 2002. Find out more on the Quaternary GIS Laboratory web site: htt...

Ever since Thailand announced plans for a proposed land bridge, sensational headlines have been appearing about how ships will no longer use the Strait of Singapore and how it would be a disaster for Singapore's economy But is this really the case and would the land bridge spell doom for Singapore's port and maritime industries? In consultation with industry players in the maritime sector, we've prepared a video to discuss the proposed land bridge and its possible impact on Singapore's economy. #singapore #thailand #malaysia
In this video, we explore the geopolitical implications of Thailand's Kra Landbridge initiative, a strategic project that could significantly alter regional maritime dynamics. This ambitious plan, involving the construction of a land bridge across the Kra Isthmus, aims to provide a shortcut for ships currently navigating the congested and pirate-prone Malacca Strait, potentially reducing their journey by days. While offering economic benefits and job creation for Thailand, this project poses a challenge to Singapore's status as a key maritime hub. We delve into the history, potential impacts, and the strategic significance of this initiative, particularly for China's maritime ambitions, and how it might reshape Southeast Asia's economic landscape. #thailand #megaprojects #construction
These waters are home to an incessant stream of container ships. Every eight minutes, a ship passes through what is surely the main artery of world maritime trade. This is not the Panama Canal, or Egypt's Suez Canal, but the Strait of Malacca in Southeast Asia. Bordered by Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore, the Strait is an essential gateway for Asia, linking it to India, the Middle East and Europe. Today, almost 40% of the world's maritime trade passes through this route, which is on the verge of saturation. A situation that could soon change radically. Between geopolitical conflicts and acts of piracy, the region is currently experiencing tensions that could turn the course of international trade upside down. Above all, one of the bordering countries, Thailand, is in the process of sett...
In this new webcast (Episode 4) of the 2021 series produced by the Belt and Road Institute in Sweden (BRIX), Hussein Askary interviewed Ms. Huilin Shin, Editor of the specialized rail shipping publication Railfreight.cn which is based in the Netherlands. The main questions discussed are: - The historical background of the Eurasian rail freight lines, when did it start? - How many routes are there today, and how many Chinese and European cities are connected? - What are the main hubs on the Chinese side and European side? And the volumes of goods? - How is the traffic coordinated among nations; customs clearance, different gauge systems, logistics? - What is the difference in costs and time between rail freight from China to Europe and sea routes? - Why some prefer rail and not sea route...

Longest bridges in the world.
Beringia is a loosely defined region surrounding the Bering Strait, the Chukchi Sea, and the Bering Sea. It includes parts of Chukotka and Kamchatka in Russia as well as Alaska in the United States. The area includes land lying on the North American plate, and Siberian land east of the Siberian Chersky Range. In historical contexts it also includes the Bering land bridge, an ancient land bridge that was up to 1,000 kilometres (620 mi) wide at its greatest extent and which covered an area as large as British Columbia and Alberta together (1,600,000 square kilometres (620,000 sq mi)). This land bridge connected Asia and North America at various times during the Pleistocene ice ages.
The term Beringia was coined by the Swedish botanist Eric Hultén in 1937. During the ice ages, Beringia, like most of Siberia and all of north and northeast China, was not glaciated because snowfall was very light. It was a grassland steppe, including the land bridge, that stretched for hundreds of kilometres into the continents on either side. It is believed that a small human population of at most a few thousand arrived in Beringia from eastern Siberia after the Last Glacial Maximum, before expanding to populate the Americas sometime after 16,500 years ago, during the Late Glacial Maximum as the American glaciers blocking the way southward melted, but before the bridge was covered by the sea about 11,000 years BP
