Antarctic Ridge Overlook
A narrow, windswept ridge on the Antarctic plateau rising above the featureless white wastes, its frozen surface scoured by constant katabatic winds. The air carries the metallic tang of generator exhaust and a faint, unsettling vibration beneath the snow, carrying something unnatural. Below, the generator plant's modular structures glow with artificial light against the creeping darkness of the spreading Krynoid infection. The ridge offers limited shelter from the endless horizon of ice, where venturing too close risks revealing how far the alien contamination has spread below the surface. From this vantage, the entire valley's scale becomes visible—endless white stretching to the horizon, broken by the alien growth's encroaching tendrils.
