Description

The area appears as a frozen landscape, with a flat ice sheet broken up by huge spires of ice jutting up from below. It would appear the sea level has dropped since the ice spires formed, or the spires were thrust upwards, as the spires each have a large mass of ice a short way up above the floor, implying that this was once the level of the surrounding ice sheet. Ore Veins can be found scattered across the biome.

There are two entrances to the biome, both being located in the Glacial Bay. The first entrance requires the player to refuel an Alterra Bridge with Hydraulic Fluid in order to gain access to the biome. The second entrance is a narrow, underwater tunnel, adjacent to an architect cable, gated by a wall of ice that can be unsealed by the player using a Laser Cutter; however, the player cannot cut through the wall unless they are within the tunnel itself, which is accessible from within the Arctic Spires.

There is also a recent Meteor Impact crater, with large Silver Ore and Titanium deposits that can be mined.

Two blue Trivalve eggs can be found in a cave.

A small valley possessing an Ice Worm carcass along with other skeletal remains can be found in the northeastern corner of the biome. Directly west of it is the Arctic Spires Cache.

A Principal Architect Teleporter chamber can be found here in a cave. A breach in the chamber leads to an Alterra site with a functioning elevator. Additionally, the elevator leads to the biome’s sealed underwater entrance. A Jukebox Disk can be found one of the crates in the Alterra Site.

Three Large Ion Cube Deposits can be found in a cave, behind a doorway. Two more Ion Cubes can be found in a Spy Pengling cave within the biome.
