Where is Bering Sea located in the world?

The Bering Sea lies between Asia and North America in the far northern part of the Pacific Ocean. On the west the sea borders the part of Russia called Siberia. To the east is the U.S. state of Alaska. The Aleutian Islands stretch across the sea's southern boundary.

Which two continents are separated by the Bering Strait?

Artist's rendering of concept for the Bering Strait bridge. The Bering Strait was last crossed by humans 20,000 years ago during the ice age, when ice formed a bridge between North America and Asia. Today, 47 miles and some of the harshest ocean and arctic conditions separate the two continents.
