So it’s around 1960 or so.
During the Cold War era. An ROB wishing the US and The USSR to have a direct land border causes Beringia to rise from the waves.
Anyway, there is a stretch of land that is flat plain.
The ROB ensures the climate of the earth is not overly changed. (Sea levels being ignored).
How does this new Cold War hotspot effect things?
Obviously both the US and the Soviets will quickly claim the area, and arrange for the border to be where the Diomede islands where(which are now little Mesas) as are the rest of the islands in the Bering Strait.
It’s flat dry plains and deep valleys. And is uninhabited by any animal life except for what will come later. Lichens, moss and grass through will colonize the landmass.
I expect this area to be heavily militarized, with the US and Soviets once they have determined where the border is to fill it with tanks and troops. Though given the remoteness of the area, it will require a lot of stuff to be brought over but despite the cost and trouble-you don’t want the other side to have bases and you don’t.
The Beringian curtain. Or the Beringian zone.
Thoughts?
