The polar icecaps of the planet Darwin IV are similar to the icecaps of Mars. The planet's predominant color of dusky ochre is relieved by a sparse mottling of red and the two crisply defined polar caps. The northern icecap is known as Glacier Cap North, or Glacier Borealis. The southern icecap is known as Glacier Cap South, or Glacier Australis.

  • The polar icecaps of the planet Darwin IV are similar to the icecaps of Mars. The planet's predominant color of dusky ochre is relieved by a sparse mottling of red and the two crisply defined polar caps. The northern icecap is known as Glacier Cap North, or Glacier Borealis. The southern icecap is known as Glacier Cap South, or Glacier Australis. As there are no oceans or seas on Darwin IV, the polar caps are the largest concentrations of water, in the form of ancient ice. These glaciers recede and advance with the seasons; as with Mars, the southern cap grows larger than its northern counterpart due to the prolonged southern winter. The sub-polar region's flora is limited by the demanding environment. Low, ground-dwelling, lichen-like plants cover the almost frozen soil in a gray-green mantle that is broken by whipweed and polardots. This is a biome in which the mechanisms of nature are at their most fragile.
