I would say it is Antarctican in general, but a bit flatter.<br/><br/>(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/d/dc/Werden_Map.jpg)<br/><br/>I can imagine ridges going along the outer coastal parts but never reaching higher than about 50 meters. The ground you are standing on is solid, so Robert sinking through the ice is very much impossible as it is. In the image going from the brightest to the darkest tones the brightest parts are of course snow and ice covered ground, then comes thick ice covering water (more than enough to keep any 'Mech above but with some spots were it could go through like Paladin did in his post), then the light blue shows where the water is shallow enough for sealed 'Mechs to walk through and the deep blue is the deep blue, good bye insurance and good bye life.<br/><br/>The HPG-facility is surrounded by rudimentary LRM and Laser turrets, more for show than anything else. The local garrison is mostly mixed tanks and AFVs with a few Urban Mechs. Infantry is available but kept within the hab-blocks for obvious reasons.
