Approximately 70 percent of the planetary surface is covered in glaciers. The ecosystem in the current era displays a number of unique and fascinating adaptation to local temperature extremes.
Continental arrangements that prevented oceanic currents from warming up the poles and mountain rises in temperate regions are thought to have played parts in triggering Remagar's current ice age, which began 11 million years ago.
In the Current Era, approximately 70 percent of its surface is covered in glaciers. Although the majority of the planet's biodiversity can be found taking refuge in the shallow seas in the tropical ocean band, entire ecosystems have evolved to inhabit the colder regions, adapting to the environment in intriguing ways. Particularly notable are the snowghosts, white predators adept at concealment, and floe serpents, which hide under icebergs to catch amphibious roanies.
