I would also love to go there. I don't know why but possibly because of its role in making human migration to the Americas possible. (I am not American of any type). That ancient humans and animals crossed Beringia in their quest for better pastures, hunting, water etc and Thrived is just amazing.
It was never going to happen no matter the international state of affairs. Western Alaska isn’t connected with the rest of Alaska, let alone the rest of the United States with it’s severe lack of road systems. I live here, I would know. Chukotka is also not developed with road systems, very sparsely populated and barred like much of Alaska is. A bridge combining two undeveloped areas and building road systems for them isn’t economically viable and would require a bunch of maintenance that neither Alaska or Chukotka could afford, let alone have the working population in the area needed to upkeep this kind of large project. It would need federal funding from both countries, a bunch of road development and a bunch of new housing development just to house workers from other areas for this sort of thing to become reality. And the US and Russia never had good enough relations to work together for something like this or spend a bunch on undeveloped land when shipping lanes and airline freight is just cheaper to do.
This happens to be the single greatest youtube video i’ve ever come across. The editing, voiceover, and clear explanations allow me to give this video a 10/10 I will be SMASHING that notification bell. Have a splendid day!!
The walking trip between Russia and Alaska ended about 11,000 years ago. Ever since, it grew until it is like it is today. People were able to boat back and forth, even as little as 500 years ago. 600 year old Italian trade goods have been found in Alaska.
Genetic analysis suggests that people lived in Beringia (the middle area that's underwater now) for around 5,000 years before enough ice melted to let them deeper into the Americas, so it may have taken quite a while for people to find out that there was land on the other side!
The Russian Far East is often colloquially considered part of Siberia by non-Russians, but yes, it is a distinct part of Russia geographically. Thanks for pointing that out.
Short and to the point, great video. Suggestion, speak slower, I spent more time stopping the video and re-playing because you spoke to fast. The 216 second video took me 450 seconds to view. If you spoke a little slower the video would have been perfect. I am not trying to be critical, just helpful. Again, GREAT VIDEO. Yes, I did give you a thumbs up and greetings from North Michigan. USA.
Thank you for the feedback. I am the kind of person who tends to watch videos on double speed but I can see how it might be better for the audience if I talk slower. I'll try to remember that for future videos.
This place is proof we're in a simulation. Who wouldn't design a game map exactly like this? Lmao ok I'm joking, but didn't seem like a fun map to play? 😆
Let me first say what I said to another commenter: while I'm a huge data nerd and I love discussing scientific disagreements, I will try to keep us on topic about the video. There are better sources than me and better forums than this for general debate on climate change. As far as I can find, e.g. earth.gsfc.nasa.gov/cryo/data/current-state-sea-ice-cover your statement as written is incorrect, since depending on how you count it there was more Arctic ice in 2014 (minimum ice extent year on year) or more in 2020 (ice extent on this date in prior years). There was also more last March, but there's usually more ice in March than in February so that doesn't mean much. In any event, what matters for shipping is the amount of ice in the summer, not the winter.
Europeans blaming their squabbles on the United States lol. Wasn’t it Europe who dragged the US into WWI and WWII? Isn’t it Russia dragging all of Europe and the US into conflict now? Next let’s blame the US when China invades Taiwan and North Korea nukes South Korea. Let’s also blame the US for the thousands of years of internal fighting in the Middle East. The era after WWII is actually the most peaceful era in all of human history, who was the top world superpower during this era?
Some experts is a little....well according to my high school textbook printed in the early 2000s (and of course many others in popular discourse in the last 5 years, which i dont know why it took so long) The human tools found predate the formation of any land brige by over 10,000 years. Basically, boats havent been affirmed but civilization long before it totally affirmed. The question merely comes over controversy about using boats which is a touch racist as humans have been pretty good at boats since before written history. Polynesians regularly traveled hundreds or thousands of kilometers to go to war basically because the seasons were in alignment and historical strife. Thousands of years worth of tools, while absolutely not what the evidence indicates, could easily give room for entire civilizations to begin, end, begin again, end again and begin at least once more and in all of those times grow into tens to hundreds of thousands or even low millions in the most ideal circumstances. With this to a fraction of this as easy possibilities, its hard to discredit the power of boats or however they came across.
From what I have read, the land bridge itself existed well before even the oldest dates of human settlement in the Americas (possibly Monte Verde in Chile at 18,500 years old). The question is whether humans took an "ice free corridor" in between the glaciers (and if there even was one) or if they took boats. Humans had already populated Australia by then so someone somewhere in the world probably had a boat, but that doesn't mean that these particular people took boats in this particular instance.
Yes, Polynesians were expert marine navigators and there’s evidence that they set foot in the American continent long before it was “discovered” by Amerigo Vespucci. Vikings have also set foot on the Americas before then and Japanese girl bones were found on the South American continent that predate colonization. Many advanced civilizations in human history were lost and forgotten, their technologies lost forever. One notable one was the great flood that destroyed civilizations across the globe and humans having to rebuild from scratch
Incas, Mayans and Aztecs were also really advanced for their time. Not even modern agriculture has figured out the agricultural methods used by Incas that are 90% more efficient in water, land and fertilizers. Not even modern medicine has figured out how to perform scull surgery with the success rate of the Incas. Lots of advanced technologies of those times were lost

If you mean the European Russians, it took them a good few centuries to explore and conquer Siberia and what is now the Russian Far East. If you mean the locals to Chukotka, they did find the New World first, thousands of years ago!
@@SignoreGalilei also seems surprisin that China or japan didn't find this place either! I believe the Vikings were here! But who's to say that China or the Irish weren't here also before Vikings!
There's some evidence the Polynesians got to the Americas. Sweet potatoes are a New World crop and they were grown all around the Pacific Islands, and the proto-polynesian word for sweet potato (*kumala) sound similar to the Quechua word kumara for the same plant. It's not a sure thing but it's definitely intriguing.
Yeah they're not from Europe, just thought it might also be interesting. The Vikings are the first from Europe that we know of, but it's not impossible there were some earlier.
Again, not a climate expert, so I'll point you to those who are. Here's the latest IPCC report summary: www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg1/downloads/report/IPCC_AR6_WGI_SPM_final.pdf The relevant highlight (A.1.5): "Human influence is very likely the main driver of the global retreat of glaciers since the 1990s and the decrease in Arctic sea ice area between 1979-1988 and 2010-2019 (decreases of about 40% in September and about 10% in March)" I completely understand if you don't trust the best science currently available, but I hope you'll forgive me if I rely on it for a single line in a video about the Bering Strait.

Large ships have already started using the Arctic shipping routes without icebreakers. It's not a matter of there being literally zero ice, it's whether the ice is broken up enough for ships to get through. Or are you claiming the sea ice isn't melting at all?
@@SignoreGalilei did they manage to get those two dozen freighters out of there yet? The first non stop NEP made by a sailing ship was 1878. History is a bitch when it doesn’t conform to your agenda.
@@SignoreGalilei I have a lady that lives at the end of my block, she is a climate scientist, does statistical analysis.

Due to recent events, I don't think a bridge between Alaska and Siberia is very likely to happen.
Yeah, that's probably true.
Then we should take back our land

Western Alaska isn’t connected with the rest of Alaska, let alone the rest of the United States with it’s severe lack of road systems. I live here, I would know.

I never realised how close Alaska and Russia were to eachother
Isn't it incredible??? I'd love to go there someday and be able to see Russia from Alaska!
Yeah, it's kind of crazy how little water there is separating them
Nor did I.
It’s why the USA has multiple bases there and wanted Alaska for that reason
Fun fact: if you include islands, then they're just 3 kilometers/2 miles away

I wonder when the first people to cross this land bridge were aware that it was land bridge.
