The Polar Sound, North
A fjord in the south-east reaches of Alacritis' North, The Polar Sound runs 15 kilometres inland from the Sea, and is surrounded by sheer rock faces that rise to 1000 metres or more on either side. The Sound sports two permanent waterfalls, however after heavy rain many dozens of temporary falls can be seen running down the steep faces of slate that line the fjord. They are fed by the rain-drenched moss that litters the scape in abundance, and will last a few days at most once the down-pour ceases. Accumulated rainwater has been known to cause portions of the wintry forests above to lose their hold against the slopes, resulting in tree avalanches deep into The Sound. The slopes are virtually unclimable, and it is from within the canyon that wolves gain entrance. Protected beneath the slopes of stone, winter-loving moss will cling to the waters edge, growing a shallow abundance of greenery a midst the salt hydration. Seals and Penguins are frequent vistors to The Sound, and seem to appreciate the shelter of it's impressive, and visually appealing confines as much as the wolves.
