  • Bering Land Bridge National Preserve
One of the remotest national park areas in United States, the Bering Land Bridge National Preserve is located on the Seward Peninsula. The National Preserve protects what is left of the Bering Land Bridge that once connected North America & Asia over 13,000 years ago. Though the preserve was designated a National Preserve in 1980, it was originally established as Bering Land Bridge National Monument on December 1, 1978. Since there are no roads to the preserve, access is through snowmobiles, dog sleds & ski planes during winter and through boats or bush planes during summers. The preserve is home to several significant pre-historical & geological sites, the Serpentine Hot Springs being the most visited location.

In addition to the wild tundra & rolling valleys, the park is home to a rich diversity of fauna including, black bears, barren-ground grizzlies, wolves & caribou.
