DR/2024/09/13.SYS-00/A/S03

== General information ==
DR/2024/09/12.SYS-00/A/S03 is a temperate lacustrine superearth that harbors life that is located in the IC 1101 galaxy that was observed September 12th, 2024, and was announced on September 13th, 2024. The geography of the planet features an unbalance in the amount of water on the world as all of the water is in the far northern hemisphere, with tundra landscapes in the far north, with polar life occasionally going onto land to find small puddles whenever the lake got too cold and icy. The rest of the planet is a barren landscape with the occasional mountain range, sandstorms have been observed in this region, these are seasonal sandstorms that are large enough that they can bury whole ranges of mountains, and it took years for the sand to be lifted off them. As of November 24th, 2029, a large set of hills in the middle of nowhere have just been covered in sand, and its estimated that in 2036 the sand would lift. 
=== Northern landscape ===
The north pole is a landscape of tundra and small lakes and ponds, the life here migrates between the lakes and ponds, and these migrations are done by using melted ice/slush to travel between the bodies of water. There is no plant life here, and the ponds/lakes change on a year by year basis, with 20 new ones forming this year in '29. Some of these lakes shrink or expand. These land changes are due to an extreme ice build up in the hills that melts effectively all at once with some flows going down a different path into a land depression and creates a new pond in that region. Small deserts and flatlands have been observed. Whole new seas can form over decades of this process. ever since the first exposure of this planet, (S)GAIA Expeditions has watched one of the larger seas in the north since 09.20.2024 increase in size in some portions, lose size in others. New sand banks have been revealed, and landscapes of hills and large valleys are now under water. 
=== Southern landscape ===
In the southern hemisphere however, its less eventful, with all the rivers up north ending in the highlands, so the ice melt does not influence geographic features in this land. The main danger of the landscape however are seasonal sandstorms that bury the landscape in sand that does not go away until years later, and there are no oasis here also, so the entire southern hemisphere is one massive desert. Tectonic activity down here is more active than up north.
