North Pole

The North Pole or Boreal region is an area of mountains and permanent ice on the supercontinent of Zahkdarret-Retzayk, extending roughly from 70-90 degrees north. The high mountains store vast amounts of ice, sufficient to reduce Helevos's sea level in cooler epochs. Just a few degrees cooler in the summer months means winter ice does not melt, reducing sea levels by hundreds of metres. The world is currently in a relative warm period so the ice sheet is primarily on land, but in the coldest periods the polar ice extends far into the mountains of Retzayk and Zahkdarret, as well as a thick sheet of sea ice.

The world is currently at its warmest point in the climate cycle, meaning the ice melts in the warm summers and is limited to the interior and uplands of the polar continent. In earlier epochs, cooler summers allow ice to build up over time, engulfing all of the land and covering the Boreal Sea with ice packs. This dramatically lowers the global sea level. The modern warm period means sea is currently at its highest level point.
