The Tundra

[/b]

Desolate; not another land could come close in emptiness to the frozen lands, even the desert could bare more life in its simmering sands than could that of the achromatic drifts of snow and browned thistles left for dead. White sheets of glistening frost tightly wrap around numerous hills that undulate across the valley; for many miles to come, the most that could be seen in the distance is the rising and setting sun that is always ablaze above the cloudless sky. Set aside the insipidity and you will find that during the nights spent in the wasteland Estrella's tundra can be quite a spectacular, breath-taking place. A spectrum of lunar colors reflect in magical rainbows from the shimmers set off by the moon's light against the snow. Surreal in every way, the sense of awe that one would get is unfathomable. Like the sky and earth of switched places, it would seem as though you were walking on a galactic plain amongst the stars and surfing in the waves of an earth bound aurora. However, the beauty is far from sincere as travelers tend to get lost in the illusion that they have found paradise, especially if they suffer from hunger, thirst, or lack of sleep, and thus death awaits them in the depths of the glittering hills.
