Book Description
"The idea that it might be feasible and advantageous to build a dam across Bering Strait was first suggested in the last decade of the last century, in the belief that this would stop ice-laden Arctic water from passing through the Strait into the Bering Sea and thus ameliorate the climate of the North Pacific. In point of fact, very little, if any, Arctic water passes southward into the Bering Sea, but this was not known at the time."--Introduction.

Book Description
"In a preliminary report on this subject the conclusion was reached that to pump water through the dam in such quantity as to remove the arctic water layer from the Arctic Sea, and to maintain unfrozen Atlantic water at the surface, would be impossible. For purposes of argument, however, it was taken that this feat had been achieved and an estimate was made of its climatic and biological effects, which would be large. In this second report it is assumed that the building of the dam itself is quite possible, but that no effort is made to pump water in either direction. This is a less spectacular and less publicised version of the plan, but one whose effects might be significant, on the North American side rather than on the Russian or the European."--Introduction.
