Incomplete Map. Arctic region reaching from 82.34°N south to 72.51°N, utterly undiscovered by civilisation. Includes a small section of coastline of the New World. The Arctic Ocean is an almost completely landlocked body of water in the far north of the world. The ocean is a vast waste of pack ice, formed during the winter, spring and fall months. In the summer, icebergs cluster together, steadily moving from west to east in this part. Little marine life is supported, but in the late summer, Chinese junks enter these waters in search of whales.

Hexes are 20 miles in diameter. Total area depicted equals 366,450 sq.m.
