If you want to discuss hypothetical glaciers and land bridges please feel free to do so in the other thread.

All the maps I find of the extent of glaciation at the last glacial maximum agree pretty closely with the few I posted. Care to point out maps showing glaciers covering Beringia?
And let's look at the links you posted. The
first one from 1996 is in direct contradiction to the
fifth one from 2006. The first one says that research has shown that flooding of Beringia happened 12,000 years ago, not 14,000 years ago. The fifth one says that research now shows flooding of Beringia to have happened 11,000 years ago, not 12,000 years ago. Who's to say that a study in 2016 won't flip the date once again?
The
third link supports the 11,000 year date, and also says that "terrestrial plants and animals were living on the land bridge." And the first link says that "the Bering land bridge vegetation at the time consisted primarily of tundra plants and shrubs."
All of which supports the only point that I was arguing-- that Beringia wasn't under "miles of ice."
