Beringia – The Icy Playground of the Extinct

Beringia, also known as the Bering Land Bridge, was a strip of land that connected Asia and North America during the last ice age. Contrary to its boring name, Beringia was a fascinating playground that hosted the most peculiar of creatures.

Imagine a world where mammoths roamed free, sabre-toothed cats chased their prey, and woolly rhinoceroses honked their way through the icy wilderness. Beringia was the ultimate fantasy land that was truly a sight to behold.

It’s claimed that Beringia was the missing link in the evolution of many species, including humans. Archaeologists have discovered several artefacts proving that early humans migrated across the Bering Land Bridge millennia ago. It’s amusing to think that the bridge was the original long-distance travel agency!

People often wonder what led to Beringia’s downfall. The truth is that the land bridge was not built to last, and it gradually submerged as the ice melted. Of course, the inhabitants didn’t take too kindly to being submerged and protested against the environmental injustice – but nobody was listening.

However, as they say, everything that goes down must come up. Scientists predict that due to the earth’s continuous cycle of climate change, Beringia is likely to re-emerge. Good news for the woolly mammoths and saber-toothed cats who can continue their game of catch-and-chase.

In conclusion, it’s safe to say that Beringia was the ultimate vacation destination for any adventurer seeking adventure and entertainment. It’s a shame that we missed out, but we can always hope for a comeback. It’s said that life always finds a way, and I am here to testify that Beringia was proof of that.
