Snowy conifer biome at the edge of ice plains As players explore the world, new areas are procedurally generated , using a map seed specified by the player.

A polar ice cap or polar cap is a high-latitude region of a planet, dwarf planet, or natural satellite that is covered in ice. [1] There are no requirements with respect to size or composition for a body of ice to be termed a polar ice cap, nor any geological requirement for it to be over land, but only that it must be a body of solid phase ...
[4] [5] [6] As ice sheets expand over the ocean, they become ice shelves. [6] Ice sheets contain 99% of all the freshwater ice found on Earth, and form as layers of snowfall accumulate and slowly start to compact into ice. [5] There are only two ice sheets present on Earth today: the Antarctic ice sheet and the Greenland ice sheet.
South of the glaciers, the major biomes on the continent were tropical semi-desert, subalpine parkland, temperate steppe grassland, and main taiga. [7] In the present day climate, the biomes in North America are tundra, boreal forest, temperate forest, grassland, desert and several more. [8] As the ice sheets retreated, biomes moved northward.
This is evident in the rapid increase of forestation and changing biomes during the postglacial period between 11500ka and 8000ka before the present. [6] [7] Vegetation development periods of post-glacial land forms on Ellesmere Island, Northern Canada, is assumed to have been at least ca. 20,000 years in duration. This slow progression is ...
After the permanent ice caps and tundra, taiga is the terrestrial biome with the lowest annual average temperatures, with mean annual temperature generally varying from −5 to 5 °C (23 to 41 °F). [10] Extreme winter minimums in the northern taiga are typically lower than those of the tundra.
