St. Lawrence Island
St. Lawrence Island
is located west of mainland
Alaska
in the
Bering Sea
, just south of the
Bering Strait
. The village of
Gambell
is located on the northwest cape, from the
Chukchi Peninsula
in the
Russian Far East
. The island is part of Alaska, but closer to
Siberia
than to the Alaskan mainland. St. Lawrence Island is thought to be one of the last exposed portions of the
land bridge
that once joined Asia with North America during the
Pleistocene
period. It is the
sixth largest island in the United States
and the
113th largest island in the world
.
