I can't imagine much in the way of large bases, which is the

Also, there's no treasure involved, so TLG will naturally assume such a
line would be dull.


Well, given that the Adventurers theme has so far depicted a world where mummies
wander tombs and jungles are filled with perilous giant spiders, I imagine that
any arctic setting would be "livened up" with a similar bit o' fantasy.

Who knows what beasties lurk in those Antarctic ice caverns?  What lost
civilations have been lying beneath those tons of ice?  And I wouldn't be too
surprised to find a few woolly mammoths wandering about in lost valleys near the
north pole.

And even if things were less fanciful, I for one would love to have a mini-walrus,
even a single-piece one.

On the other hand, I've wandered through the Legoland CA Adventurer's display,
which I believe is the source of this Arctic speculation, and the arctic portion
of it seemed like it might have been just an excuse for a little joke  (I don't
want to spoil it for any future visitors with anything specific). Whether it
really is a hint of things to come or not, only time will tell.

Just some thoughts,

Pete
