My Review

This seed is all about where you get spawned. The west side of this map is a frozen hunk of ice, though it does contain a lot of trees. The east side of the map, however, is a lush island paradise and highly recommended. This is one of the flatter maps I've ever traversed. Had it not been for the swimming, I would have finished this map in record time. And even swimming to the islands wasn't too bad because there are rocks and sandbars along the way, so really in terms of navigation, this seed plays quite nicely.

Images

This land bridge is pouring water onto the frozen sea that runs underneath it. I can't recall seeing anything like that before. If you look very closely at the image, you can make out a small, low-hanging floater in the background.
