This article is about the Iceberg Zones. You may be looking for the Sparse Arctic or the Arctic Spires.

The Iceberg Zones regions are large biomes characterized by rugged, rocky terrain on the seafloor and icebergs on the surface.

There are two regions, located to the east and west.

The Eastern Iceberg Zone is located in the northeast, bordering the Lilypad Islands, Purple Vents, Sparse Arctic, and World Edge.

Various points of interest can be found on the icebergs here, with Marguerit's Greenhouse having been built on one, and another having a crashed Satellite built by The Architects.

The Eastern Iceberg Zone seafloor is relativity similar to its western counterpart, apart from the large, resource rich dormant caldera that can be found near the border with the Lilypad Islands. This caldera appears to have since scarred the nearby landscape with small trenches and fissures in which many resources can be found as well as few Large Resource Deposits.

In the center of the caldera is a Ground Sampler.

The Western Iceberg Zone is located in the southwest, and borders the Arctic Kelp Forest, Glacial Connection, Glacial Bay, Thermal Spires, Tree Spires, and World Edge.

The Western Iceberg Zone's northern reaches are dominated by a sprawling collection of lively icebergs. Both underwater and surface vegetation is much more common in the West Arctic than its eastern counterpart. The southern portion of the biome is absent of icebergs but supports multiple blooms of Eye Jellies under the waves. Large, rocky formations cover the seafloor of the West Arctic, including large boulders and large hill ranges. The sea floor also hosts small pockets of flora littered towards the northern portion of the biome, underneath the icebergs.

Two Blue Trivalve Eggs can be found in a cave.

An Ion Cube can be found in a cave.


A Snowfox equipped with a Snowfox Hop Module is required to explore the full extent of the surface portion of the Western Iceberg Zone.
