Bering land Bridge National Preserve is a biological cornucopia. It has the wildlife and permafrost features of the icy north and in contrast has had explosive volcanic events. It is a place where research is conducted on 21st century issues and where the story of the Bering Land Bridge was worked out.

Bering Land Bridge National Preserve has a rich diversity of offerings for those wishing to experience the raw, wild nature of Alaska's far northwestern ecosystems through recreation as well as for scientific research.
