Bering Sea showing the larger of the submarine canyons that cut the margin
The Navarin Canyon is the third-largest to cut through the Beringian margin. It is the second-largest in area. Though these canyons were not directly formed by rivers, it is postulated that when the sea level was low during the Ice Ages, rivers such as the Yukon and the Kuskokwim may have shaped in part the heads of these canyons. At the shelf break, it is approximately 100 kilometres (62 mi) wide.[1]
