Answer:

Beringia was a tundra environment during the Ice Age. This region was covered in ice and snow, making it a cold and dry landscape. Tundra is characterized by frozen ground, low-lying vegetation, and harsh conditions.

It was this tundra environment that early humans crossed as they migrated from Asia to North America, following the herds of animals that also adapted to living in such conditions.
