Chessboard Desert

The Chessboard Desert is a region of Wonderland between Wondertropolis to the east and Outerwilderbeastia to the west. It is comprised of alternating squares of ice and snow (white), the other half tar, ash, and volcanic rock (black), giving it the appearance of a giant chessboard.
