Although the Bering Sea is situated in the same latitude as Great
Britain, its climate is much more severe.
Practically all of the Bering Sea water comes from the Pacific Ocean.
Thus, the Bering Sea is an
important factor in the general circulation of the northern part of
the Pacific Ocean waters.
Bering Sea is a biologically productive area, with large populations
of marine birds and mammals.
The Bering Sea consists of a large, deep basin in the southwest
portion, where depths as great as 9900 ft (3000 m) are encountered.
The Bering Sea connection with the Arctic Ocean (Chukchi Sea)
is the Bering Strait, 53 mi (85 km) wide and 30 mi (45 m) deep.
The Bering Sea is a northern extension of the north Pacific Ocean,
bordered to east by Alaska, and to the west by Russia's Chukotka and
Kamchatka Peninsulas.
To the south the Bering Sea is framed by the arc of the Alaska
Peninsula, the Aleutian Islands, and Russia's Commander Islands.

shellfish, birds, whales, dolphins, porpoises, walrus, sea lions,
polar bears, and seals.

Most of the hard corals in the Bering Sea are found
