With average temperatures much lower than that of Earth all year round, much of Boreas has become a frozen wasteland. Sheet ice covers roughly two thirds of the planet’s surface, leaving only a small band of temperate climate around its equator. Large areas of ocean remain frozen throughout the year, with summer melt reducing its extent only marginally. Several large landmasses are also engulfed by these enormous polar regions, and they remain covered with snow and ice, making life there impossible. Large glaciers feed the ocean pack ice year round, and from orbit, polar continents are almost indistinguishable from the surrounding frozen oceans.

  • With average temperatures much lower than that of Earth all year round, much of Boreas has become a frozen wasteland. Sheet ice covers roughly two thirds of the planet’s surface, leaving only a small band of temperate climate around its equator. Large areas of ocean remain frozen throughout the year, with summer melt reducing its extent only marginally. Several large landmasses are also engulfed by these enormous polar regions, and they remain covered with snow and ice, making life there impossible. Large glaciers feed the ocean pack ice year round, and from orbit, polar continents are almost indistinguishable from the surrounding frozen oceans. Compared to the polar regions, the climate in Boreas’ temperate equatorial regions is quite mild. In this thin belt, life is abundant and the climate is quite sufficient for human habitation. Here, tundra and sub-arctic regions frame much warmer, fertile valleys and plains. Kept warm by equatorial currents, some parts of the Western continent can even be described as Mediterranean.
