Comprised of 2.7 million acres, @BeringLandNPS in Alaska is one of the nation’s most remote national parks. The vibrant colors of summer have turned the tundra into darker reds, yellows and browns of fall.
Enjoy the change of seasons wherever you may be!

In celebration of summer, wildflowers are popping up across the tundra. Cotton grass, Labrador tea, and fireweed shoots are out now near the preserve's headquarters in Nome.
What wildflowers are you excited to see this year?
Bering Land Bridge staff will be at Serpentine Hot Springs June 24-28 for the annual maintenance trip, weather permitting.
Summer programming will continue in July after staff returns.
Mondays...am I right?
Not all of us have the luxury of basking in the sun on the sea ice like this spotted seal. At least we can enjoy looking at them, dreaming of the next time we get to relax in the sunshine too.
Uvaġnaataa manna! It is almost summer here!
Time to dust off your bikes, pull out your pack rafts, and find those hiking boots hiding in the back of your closet!
What summer activity are you looking forward to?
"It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me."
At Bering Land Bridge, everyone agrees. Arctic tern's are notorious for pecking the heads of folks that come to close to their nests, and honestly, we get it. As terns return to the area this summer, be sure to give them space!
Serpentine Hot Springs is one of the most visited areas at @BeringLandNPS in Alaska. With hot springs piped into an enclosed bathhouse and a bunkhouse open year-round, Serpentine offers an incredible way to experience the remote landscape of the region.

On August 4th, researchers on the R/V Sikuliaq will embark on a 30-day cruise on the Bering Sea shelf to gather sea floor core samples to study the vegetation that once covered the land bridge. Follow their journey on our website.

Happy Earth Day!
Today and every day, we celebrate the 2.7 million acres of earth protected in the preserve. The land provides for countless people, tundra-dwelling critters, rare migratory birds, hardy plants, spawning fish, and so much more.
