Ice Sheets

The Ice Sheets are a region that surrounds the whole of Galimma, being a stretch of tundra and permafrost that rings the outer sea far from the reaches of the sun's warmth. The Ice Sheets are largely inhospitable, being trapped in a near permanent, bitter cold and whipped by fierce and biting winds. Little life exists here, but that which does has adapted uniquely to survive the cruel environment and eke out an existence.

Topography
The Ice Sheets are one of the largest landmasses on Galimma, though they are in large part made of permanently frozen water. The sheets ring the entire world, forming primarily from seawater that exists too far from the sun and freezes over permanently. The inner coastline varies in shape and climate greatly, depending on where it exists relative to the rest of Galimma.

Ecology
The Ice Sheets are largely barren due to their frigid temperatures and lack of rainfall, though some niche ecosystems have emerged, allowing for specially adapted life to exist there.

Flora
The basis for most of the ecosystems of the Ice Sheets are the frost-buds, a family of hardy mosses that grow beneath the permafrost and emerge to soak the magical rays of the night-ribbons.

Racial and Ethnic Groups
The Ice Sheets are not braved by many intelligent races, but most notable of them are Kuupali voyagers who fish the cold outer seas, some of the last remaining Lykoth packs on Galimma, roaming bands of Fen-Kits, and most famously the hardy Uukpaluuk.
