Is there going to be a Snowy Plain?

I'm wandering about in Salatu (Olani Ohm) and right on the horizon I see what looks like a snowfield. Are we going to get snow and ice? I would love to have a proper icy landscape to explore. We could wrap up with furry clothes, it could be like the ancestral lands and your time would be limited unless you were properly prepared... Furry clothes, proper boots, skis?
I know we've got A Wintry Place off NW Passage but I'd love an Arctic world with mountains, glaciers, ice fishing etc.

  • Yes, please!!! SLEDDING.

    I would so totally move to an igloo.

  • Another possibility: a white-dune desert, like White Sands National Monument (google images).
    People do sled on the dunes in the rec area!  

    Not to say that wintry places aren't cool too.  I just really loved the gypsum dunes at White Sands and Salatu made me think of it.

  • Wow - I'd never heard of  White Sands. Thinking about it (and looking at the world map) - that's probably what we're getting glimpses of.
    I'd still like to have a snowfield though.

  • I'd like an arctic/polar region.   Someplace without roads and houses.   A real wilderness.   When I played secondlife I was really disappointed in the obsession with houses, clothes, and general consumer culture.  And everything was tropical.  It got boring fast.

    A wilderness is a bit advanced I suppose, and would likely require lots of new and different skills.  I'd like it to function in the way that aboriginal cultures functioned in the arctic and not in the way that the explorers functioned.
