Before his mind began to fill with unanswered questions, Reidar and Gridd approached him, commenting on the surrounding landscape.

"I read that Krypstorm is more than three times the size of Okstorm, is that correct?" Gridd asked.

"Captain, since you know so much about rocks, seas and volcanoes... what do you think of the fact that such a large place is almost entirely covered with ice? I mean... Okstorm and Krypstorm are not so far away, how can Krypstorm be so different?" Reidar inquired.

The perennial ice certainly comes from something older, which has characterized that place for hundreds of years" Dag replied, intrigued by the question.
