Over a millennium ago there were glaciers along the Northern coast and throughout the Northern mountains. These mammoth creations are still melting in places, leaving behind freezing cold lakes miles wide. Some, such as this, still have chunks of ice large enough to walk on. As with all lands in the north it is cold here, and there is quite often snow on the ground. Wolves aren't afraid to gather here though, as it is accessible and a generally welcoming environment. In winter the lake freezes over and by spring can be unstable as it thaws.
