Antarctic Continent & Islands

Antarctic Continent & Islands

Region | Subrealm

The Antarctic Continent & Islands stand as Earth's final frontier, where ice sheets stretch beyond horizons and towering glaciers meet the sea. Amidst the frozen vastness, emperor penguins march, seals bask on ice floes, and hardy mosses cling to life. This polar realm, both stark and beautiful, holds secrets of our planet's past and keys to its future climate.
