The Bering Sea is roughly triangular in shape, with its boundaries defined by the following landforms:
- North: The sea narrows toward an apex that connects to the Arctic Ocean via the Bering Strait, which separates the continents of Asia and North America.1
- East: The base of the triangle is partially formed by the 1,100-mile-long arc of the Alaska Peninsula.1
- South: The southern boundary is defined by the Aleutian Islands, which are part of the U.S. state of Alaska.1
- West: The western boundary is formed by the Komandor (Commander) Islands.1
