A crack torn deep into the ground, possibly created from tectonic upheaval by the nearby glacier, it descends to an impressive depth, and a spiraling pathway permits access from brave travellers. Part way into the fissure, a cloud layer is encountered, and beneath it the icy chill of the upper half of the canyon gradually submits to a subterranean warmth that thaws portions of the fissure's deeper reaches. Descending the fissure itself is quite a feat of skill, as a constant, stiff wind tends to push even the most surefooted adventurers deeper than they may have intended while inadvertently attracting the attention of any number of some of the most dangerous creatures in the world lurking within. | ||
