Bering Strait

Bering Strait
NASA/GSFC/JPL/MISR-Team · Public domain · Wikimedia Commons via Wikidata

The water between Chukchi Peninsula and the Alaskan shore, and the route the book's traders and boat crews take east.

No outline, deliberately. No source in hand draws the strait as an extent: neither Natural Earth 10m gazetteer layer carries it, and hydrographic sources generally draw a strait as a line between two capes rather than as a polygon. The map frames it without claiming a boundary.
