The part that sticks out toward Alaska is probably a couple hundred miles wide and sticks out about that far into the Bering sea. I'll grant that that is less than going across Alaksa or Siberia. It is still mountainous:

the peninsula is the eastern extension of the Anadyr mountain range



I think it's still a mistake to think tropical cyclones are moving into the Arctic sea through the Bering strait or over the Chukchi peninsula. There's the Aleutian island chain, the shallow seas, and the circular ocean currents in the north Pacific:



The Bering sea is not a balmy body of water though. See The Deadliest Catch.
