Glacial Connection

The Glacial Connection is a deep, underwater cave biome that situated beneath the underside of a large glacier, connecting the West Arctic to the Glacial Basin. It lacks life, supporting a handful of Arctic Kelp Forest flora and a bloom of Jellyfish.

Description
The Glacial Connection is a deep cave system located under the bigger glacier found in the western section of the map. The cave is rather compact, making it difficult to navigate with the Seatruck, but it is possible.

The biome starts as a large fissure below a glacier that slowly tightens towards the seabed. The biome's terrain is rocky, and patches of flora including seedless Creepvine and Violet Beaus dot the seafloor. Bowl Plants are the biome's only source of illumination, alongside the Jellyfish. Midway through the Glacial Connection, there exist two narrow gaps that lead to the more cavernous region of the biome. This area is lined with layers of fragmented blue ice, along with denser patches of seagrass. A notable feature about this half of the biome is the absence of Jellyfish. Certain geological features such as Thermal Vents, Ice Bubbles, and Ore Veins can be found throughout this half of the biome. Ribbon Plants sparsely populate this area. A ruined Architect installation containing one Ion Cube can be found near the end of the tunnel towards the Glacial Basin. At the end of the cave, the player will find themselves within a short stretch of water in the southern portion of the Glacial Basin.
