	Bering Strait - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Bering Strait is a sea strait between Cape Dezhnev, Russia, the easternmost point (169°43' W) of the Asian continent and Cape Prince of Wales, Alaska, the westernmost point (168°05' W) of the American continent, with latitude of about 65° 40' North, slightly south of the polar circle.
		The strait is approximately 85 km (58 mi) wide, with a depth of 30–50 m (100–165 ft) and connects the Chukchi Sea (part of the Arctic Ocean) in the north with the Bering Sea (part of the Pacific Ocean) in the south.
		Suggestions have been made for the construction of a bridge spanning the Bering Strait between Alaska and Siberia, dubbed by some as the Intercontinental Peace Bridge, and alternatively, for a connecting tunnel underneath the strait.

	Bering land bridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Bering land bridge, also known as Beringia, was a land bridge roughly 1,000 miles (1,600 km) north to south at its greatest extent, which joined present-day Alaska and eastern Siberia at various times during the Pleistocene ice ages.
		The Bering Strait, the Chukchi Sea to the north and the Bering Sea to the south, are all shallow seas (map, right).
		The Bering Land Bridge is significant for several reasons, not least because it enabled human migration to the Americas from Asia about 12,000 years ago (see Models of migration to the New World).

	Halfbakery: Foolproof Bering Strait Bridge
		The only problem is the sheer volume needed to build up a land bridge, as the strait is 2-3 miles deep and 53 miles across, plus maybe a hundred feet wide at the top to allow for the highway, which means the bottom of the pile would be very wide.
		I'm sure many nations would pay to have all their garbage taken away, and its possible the one could make a huge sum of money before the bridge is even finished.
		The Bering strait is pretty remote, and this would require cooperating with the Russians to build something.
