The South Pole region consists of a permanent cap of ice covering sea, numerous islands and one large island continent. Pack ice also encompasses latitudes from roughly 75°C to the pole, including the southern tip of the continent of Vulimé.

The Miyarrain called the southern continent Dahroshahp or Dahro (meaning “cutting cold”). It is° 9600 km on its longest axis, and many smaller islands enclosed within a continuous ice shelf that extends over the South Polar Sea. The land is rugged and mountainous, with peaks reaching 7000 m. The coastline has precipitous cliffs and deep fjords gouged by the ice of colder epochs. Consequently the treacherous northern coast with its icy cliffs and mountainous icebergs is more commonly called The Icehorns. plugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigAtlas: South Pole

South Pole

The South Pole region consists of a permanent cap of ice covering sea, numerous islands and one large island continent. Pack ice also encompasses latitudes from roughly 75°C to the pole, including the southern tip of the continent of

The polar continent has been rarely visited, since its rugged icebound coast is riddled with icebergs and fjords of precipitous rock with nothing of use or interest to explorers. The interior is high and mountainous, with plateaux up to five thousand metres high, covered with permanent snow and ice, its glaciers creeping slowly down to the sea. Only the far northern peninsula has any life. At 45°S its latitude is sufficient for temperate virid forest to thrive around the far north coast, but the interior is limited to viridplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigVirid

Referring to the Virid Kingdom of flora and fauna, toxic to human life. shrubland and tundra, where life struggles to survive in the thin soil, blasted by glacial wind.

The polar sea is covered by a permanent ice sheet which varies with the seasons, being larger in winter and smallest in late summer. The sea ice ranges from 73°S to sometimes 80°S in warmer summers.

In previous cooler epochs the polar sea was permanently frozen, the ice pack covering virtually the whole island as well as southern reaches of Voulimay.
