mula sa Dagat Bering sa Karagatang Artiko
Mali ang lokasyong ito: ang Dagat Bering ay bahagi ng Karagatang Pasipiko, hindi ng Karagatang Artiko.

The phrase places the Bering Sea in the Arctic Ocean, but authoritative geographic sources describe the Bering Sea as part of the Pacific Ocean.
NOAA’s National Ocean Service explains that the Bering Sea is part of the Pacific Ocean. Separately, the U.S. Geological Survey says the Bering Strait is the passage that connects the Bering Sea to the Arctic Ocean. That means the Bering Sea itself is not in the Arctic Ocean; it is the Pacific-side sea that connects to the Arctic through the strait.
So the page’s wording is incorrect because it mislocates the Bering Sea.

USGS says Alaska and Russia are separated by the Bering Strait, “a narrow passage connecting the Bering Sea and the Arctic Ocean.”
Sa timog, ang Kipot ng Bering ang nagkakabit sa Pasipiko sa Karagatang Artiko.
Mali ang direksiyong ito: nasa hilaga ang Kipot ng Bering, hindi sa timog.

This sentence is wrong about direction. The Bering Strait is in the far north, between Alaska and Russia, and it connects Pacific waters with the Arctic.
NOAA Fisheries describes the Bering Strait as separating Russia and Alaska and says ocean waters pass from the Pacific to the Arctic through it. USGS likewise describes it as the passage between Alaska and Russia connecting the Bering Sea and the Arctic Ocean. Because Alaska and Russia are in the Northern Hemisphere and the strait is the northern gateway between the Pacific and Arctic, calling it “sa timog” (“to the south”) is factually incorrect.
