A349 Microcontinent

**Important:** The 2023 survey failed to identify this microcontinent or part of its sims.

**A349** is the transitory name of a Microcontinent located at Coordinates 1089-1091/1079-1080, Grid Sector J10, Central Ocean and Little Northern Ocean.

## History

Data from Gridsurvey shows that the microcontinent was built in 2008. However, due to its small size, SLGI team never gave much interest in studying it.

## Structure

The microcontinent is made of 5 sims and looks like a small cross.

## Geography

Not all sims are opened for public visitors. It looks like the microcontinent is flat (or almost flat), with a few rivers and lakes. There are some buildings.

## Land Status

The microcontinent is made so that it can be adapted and rented for events, projects or institutions.

## Sim Examples

* Green Island
* Metaflix
* Metastudio
* Metatainment Island

A295 Sim Cluster

**A295** is the transitory name of a Sim Cluster located at Coordinates 817-861/1281-1323, Grid Sector H12 and Grid Sector H13, North - West Ocean.

## History

Sims forming A295 existed since old times. However, until 2015, they could not be separated from surrounding Unassociated Sims. In July 2015, a gap was formed to North-West and North-East. This allowed the sim cluster to be separated by SLGI team.

## Structure

A295 is made of 80 sims, placed at random. To North it is separated by a gap without sims. To South, other more visible grid structures can be noted.

Tiny microcontinents exist too.

## Geography

There is a high diversity of Geographic features. Ground texture is not the same in every sim. A traveler can find many surprising landscapes.

## Land Status

There is a large estate in the area, but it is not alone. No major access restrictions were detected. Land for sale also exists.

## Sim Examples

* The Church
* Manta Caye
* Hazardous Inc
* Shadow Land

## Status update

The sim cluster was confirmed to exist in 2023, although slightly difficult to separate from surrounding Unassociated Sims.

A023 Sim Cluster

**As for November 2020, this sim cluster no longer exists.**

A023 is the temporary name of a Sim Cluster that can be found at Coordinates 503-521/1093-1111, in Grid Sector E10 and Grid Sector E11, Far West Ocean.

## History

A023 was first discovered by SLGI team in 2013, when it had 55 sims. In June 2015, it was found to have 63 sims.

## Structure

It is formed of about 63 sims, all placed with mathematical disposition (to form squares). There is a distance of a sim between two sims, so they are not in contact one to another. The geometrical pattern is not complete, there are a few missing sims.

## Land Status

Even if there are many estates in here, there is a single estate owner for the entire sim cluster. Land has diverse levels of division inside a sim. Land With Restricted Access exists, but our survey detected no sim with restricted access. Land is available for sale.

## Geography

Variations are from plain sims to places below sea levels and mountains (below 100 meters). Also, the types of buildings vary from a place to another. There are shopping places and residential sims. Paradise beach islands are also present.

## Sim Examples

* BelleStar
* Avon Park
* Coral Gables
* Malabar

A489 Sim Cluster

This is a large Sim Cluster located at Coordinates 889-941/1340-1400, Grid Sector H13, Grid Sector I13, Grid Sector I14 North - West Ocean and Northern Ocean. SLGI team gave it the transitory name **A489**.

## History

The area where A489 lies now has seen massive changes in the last years. Previous surveys found a sea of Unassociated Sims and various microcontinents and sim clusters that have vanished. The 2023 survey noticed a significant increase in sim density within the area up to the point where a new sim cluster has become evident.

## Structure

I consists of 170 sims and has a very asymmetrical shape, highly elongated and stretching through 3 grid sectors. The sims don't belong to a single estate. The formation of A489 seems to be the result of random sim creation within the area.

## Geography

As expected for a sim cluster of this size and not owned by a single estate, there is a huge diversity of sims inside. Land rating and land access highly vary from one place to another. Geographic features, types of buildings and ground texture also vary significantly.

## Sim examples

* MMB Kelk Island
* Edenia
* Discord
* KPOP ISLAND

A212 Sim Cluster

A212 is the temporary name given to a Sim Cluster located at Coordinates 686-703/1069-1083 Grid Sector F10 and Grid Sector G10, Far Western Ocean.

## History

The sim cluster might have existed for long, but SLGI team identified it in spring 2014.

## Structure

The sim cluster is formed of two different areas: Papau sims (can be considered a Sim Group, there are 5 sims, all sharing the name *Papau*) and East sims (9 sims with mathematical disposition). There are other 4 more distant sims.

## Geography

Majority of places are covered with grass and other types of vegetation. Water is present, both under the form of rivers and oceans. There are two sims in East covered with sand and not too elevated (tropical beach paradise), while all the other sims host hills or even low mountains.

## Land status

It looks like there are multiple estates in the area, but the largest surface is owned by the same estate owner. Majority of parcels are opened for visitors, while a sim does not allow access. There are places that does not allow scripts.

## Sim Examples

* Papau West
* Isle of Gortuga
* SHODOSHIMA
* Tondra

## Status update

The sim cluster was identified during February 2023 survey in the same location.

A138 Microcontinent

**Important:** The February 2023 survey found no remnants of A138 at the given coordinates.

A138 is the temporary name of a microcontinent. Its Coordinates are 823-825/981-983, that corresponds to Grid Sector H9, Western Ocean. It is South to Uhre Continent.

## History

A138 was identified by SLGI team in late 2013. At that time, it was made of 10 sims. Until summer 2015, its shape has not changed.

## Structure

It is formed of 10 sims, creating an almost compact shape.

## Geography

Each sim has one or more islands and a lot of navigable Water. In some places, land is placed close to sim borders. Altitude is low. the higher places are not made by ground elevation, they are in fact sculpties. In Trade Winds, you can find a maze of buildings, tunnels and caves. There are a few pirate ships sailing between islands or stopped in docks. Also, flying is not allowed on all the sims.

## Sim Examples

* Cartagena Isle
* Trade Winds
* Macouba Bay
* Solitas

Champion Gold

Champion Gold is a Microcontinent located at Coordinates 547-548/1043-1046, Grid Sector E10, Far Western Ocean. SLGI team gave it the transitory name **A396**.

## History

The microcontinent did not exist in 2020. It was first surveyed in February 2023.

## Geography

It is composed of 8 sims sharing similar names. It looks like a few other sims existed too, they are remnants on the map. Champion Gold is a residential area divided into square parcels by roads. Land partially resembles a Tropical Beach Paradise. There are a few sims covered almost entirely by water. No mountains or large hills were identified during survey.

## Sims

* Champion Gold
* Champion Gold II
* Champion Gold III
* Champion Gold IV

Atlantic Games Sims

This is a Sim Group with its transitory name A201. Its Coordinates are 1141-1144/1340-1342, located in Grid Sector K13, Northern Ocean.

## History

SLGI team discovered this place in autumn 2013. At that time, it was made of 4 sims, two of them being designed for gamble.

## Geography

* ATLANTIC GAMES was a place for gambling. Currently, it is a plain where a few breedables found a new home.
* Hidden Feelings is a plain covered with vegetation, probably a wilderness.
* Mustang Bay should be linked on the Dark Sims and is a dark blood shop, surrounded by a roleplay area.

## Sim Examples

* Mustang Bay
* Hidden Feelings
* ATLANTIC GAMES

## Status update

In 2023, there are only two sims. Since sim density has increased in the area, they can easily be confused with Unassociated Sims.

Blu Isle Microcontinent

**Important:** This microcontinent has vanished. Some of its sims have migrated to remote areas of the map.

**A334** is the transitory name for **Blu Isle**, a Microcontinent identified at Coordinates 1048-1052/1281-1284, Grid Sector J12, Northern Ocean.

## History

Data from Gridsurvey shows that a large part of the microcontinent did not exist before 2014, but another part was created around 2008. SLGI team did not find any large grid structure within the area in 2013 or 2014. In May 25th 2015, presence of a microcontinent in the area was proven. However, since its discovery time and August 5th 2015, new sims were added.

## Structure

*Blu Isle* is made of 13 sims and has an *L* shape. Northern sims have a lighter texture then Southern sims.

## Geography

There is a large, central landmass, with a few inner lakes and rivers. Only to West, there is an island. In most of cases, land is flat, but an altitude scan can reveal very smooth hills. There are many homes, that look like suburbs. Vegetation is tropical. A network of roads allow easy access to any parcel. Along the waterways, surfable waves exist.

There is a rollercoaster in *Black Hills* (see List Of Railways).

## Land Status

Land is owned by a single estate. Land destination is residential. Roads are all Protected Land.

## Sim Examples

* Black Beauty
* Alicorns Hold
* Pleasant Shore
* Cool Springs

Gulf Of Moles

The Gulf Of Moles is a Subcontinent located in West Corsica. SLGI team gave it the transitory name **B066**.

## History

The subcontinent was built around 2009. Its shape was left unchanged since then. Private-owned land suffered many transformations, as residents transformed their lands through terraforming. The area was home to a few griefer attacks.

The name might be a tribute to the *moles* who built most of the structures in Second Life.

## Structure

The subcontinent consists of 40 sims and has an elongated shape. It measures 6 sims from North to South and 12 sims from East to West. 24 sims are entirely Protected Land, 3 sims are entirely Inhabited Land and 13 sims are inhabited land with trails of protected land. It appears that the inhabited sims have shallow water and some dryland. There is no sim without less then 50% water surface.

## Geography

The altitude map reveals the real shape of the subcontinent.

First thing one can notice is the effect of repeated terraforming on several parcels. Residents have created submerged plateaus, have lowered (and sometimes erased) islands and peninsulas, have built new islands and peninsulas. Most terraformed areas can be identified on the map by their rectangular shapes.

The altitude map reveals the existence of a few islands in sims with inhabited land. Some of these islands can be visible without terraforming, some cannot. In many cases, there is Land With Restricted Access, which does not allow a close-up survey. The islands appear to be very low.

Protected Land sims are covered by water. They host no island or peninsula. A submerged peak (17 m high) exists in Cutliff sim. Water depth is usually enough to allow even big ships pass. There are places where seabed elevation is 1 m.

It appears that the seafloor hosts no wrecked ships, vegetation of stones. No fish had been detected, except for private-owned land.

There is a boat stationed in Larate. A race line exists in San Lucas. Two small boats exist in McCoubrey sim. A few buoys could be located in other parcels.

## Land Status

There are 24 sims of Protected Land and many other sims with trails of protected land, allowing for access. Some areas don't allow objects entry. No rezz zone had been detected in the area. Inhabited Land is also present in many places, sometimes covering large areas. Abandoned Land can be found in small amounts.

## Transport

The area can be easily explored by boat and even by airplane. There are many continuous waterways. No rezz zones had been detected in the area. Residents living close to protected land can release their own boats.

The YavaScript pods and the SLGI Fleet are present in the area and offer their services to travelers.

A278 Sim Group

**A278** is the transitory name of a Sim Group located at Coordinates 756-758/1122-1125, Grid Sector G11, Western Ocean.

## History

According to Gridsurvey, the sims that compose A278 were created in 2008. However, at that time sim density was far greater then it is today, so most probably A278 was hard to recognize because of the many Unassociated Sims.

## Structure

It is made of 5 sims, each one with an interesting advertising design on map. They all have mathematical distribution (in contact at their corners).

## Geography

Land is usually flat and covered with buildings. There are many fashion shops and night clubs in each sim. The only exception is Bederra Island, where is located an orthodox church.

## Sim Examples

* Bedarra Island
* Florida
* REZ
* AEG

## Status update

The survey conducted in 2023 concluded that the sim group is active, although it slightly changed its shape.

Celebration Sea

**A355** is the transitory name for **Celebration Sea** a temporary Microcontinent, Sim Group or Sim Cluster located at Coordinates 1014-1040/1020-1045, Grid Sector J10, Central Ocean.

## Location

A355 - Celebration Sea is located East to Heterocera and North - East to Sansara. Depending on time, it might host a microcontinent, a sim cluster, a sim group or just be void ocean.

## History

SLGI team, when defining Oceans for the first time, named the area East to Heterocera as *Celebration Sea*. This is the place where occasional sims are created, to serve as land for special events. Each year, during Second Life Birthday, a few sims are created to serve as a place for parties. Occasionally, during other events, a small number of sims might be created for a limited time.

## Structure

Depending on event, the number of existing sims might vary. In 2015, 15 sims were used to form a microcontinent. The structure was detected by SLGI team on a quick survey done in May 25th, but vanished later in July.

On other occasions, smaller grid structures were detected, up to only two sims. However, there are large amounts of time when there is nothing and Celebration Sea becomes Void Ocean. This is the reason why *Celebration Sea* is listed both at List Of Microcontinents And Sim Clusters and at Vanished Grid Structures.

## Geography

Each time something is created here, everything is different. Ground texture might vary from bare ground to grass or flowers. There might be mountains or flat terrain. roads, railways can exist or people can simply walk from a parcel to another. Everything can change.

Depending on theme, there can be an exposition, a large party or anything else.

## Land Status

Land is Linden-owned (mainland). However, not always land is opened for public. There are periods when no access is granted, or when only builders can enter, as well as times when access is granted to public.

## Status update

Celebration Sea hosted a microcontinent of at least 15 sims in January 2023. In February, it vanished until the next event.

Carvera Ruins

The Carvera Ruins are submerged and off-shore from Nautilus City. It looks like not the entire city has emerged to surface and there are more things to see on the sea floor. Part of the area is inside Bingo Strait.

The largest ruin is inside *Carvera*, a long stone wall that can be seen emerging from between sand dunes. Not far from it, there is another piece of wall with some square-shaped columns. Another piece of wall, with some vases that attract a lot of fish, can be seen further away. There is a building on the wall, partially buried under sand. And this is not all. Three are two other buildings which emerge from the sand, almost entirely buried. More South, inside *Nautilus - Magon*, there are similar ruins, almost completely engulfed in sand.

The ruins are always a quiet place as not many people know about them. They stay hidden behind sand dunes on the sea floor, waiting to be discovered and explored.

The SLGI Fleet use the large stone wall in Carvera as a station.

Folsom Microcontinent

**Important:** In February 2023, only one sim, *Folsom Creed*, still exists. The microcontinent has vanished.

**A270** is the transitory name for **Folsom**, a Microcontinent found at Coordinates 792-794/1330-1332, Grid Sector G13, Northern Ocean.

## History

According to [www.Gridsurvey.com Gridsurvey], this microcontinent started to form since 2013.

## Structure

It is made of 5 sims and has a diffuse shape.

## Geography

Some vast structures are built in skyboxes.

On ground, there are ports, docks and even stargates. There also are a lot of street shops. Land status is *Adult*.

## Sim Examples

* Folsom Pines
* Folsom Harbor
* Folsom Plains
* Folsom Creed

Battery Passage

Battery Passage is a Sim located on the Northern shore of Bay City and Gulf Of Lauren, Sansara. There is a hill inside the sim with its top rising to 38 m high, the highest point within Bay City.

A trail comes from the South-East corner of the sim and slowly climbs along the hill through a forest area. At the end of the path, there is a small place to relax and sit. An old cart can be seen too. Forward, there is a large parcel covered with grass and surrounded by trees. Beyond it, on the highest part of the hill, a lighthouse can be seen standing. Although the lighthouse has a door and a stairway, it lacks an access way on its top, so it is not a good idea to climb it. Nearby, there is a building with a bench in front of it. There is a sofa inside and on the walls one can see nautical decorations.

The hill is surrounded by navigable waterways. It is actually a peninsula.

A274 Sim Cluster

**Important:** The February 2023 survey failed to identify A274. The sim cluster has vanished and surviving sims have merged with Unassociated Sims.

**A274** is the transitory name of a Sim Cluster located at Coordinates 768-775/1242-1252, Grid Sector G12, Northern Ocean.

## History

The sims that form it, are very old, but until 2014 there was not a clear separation between them and the surrounding Unassociated Sims. In 2014, SLGI team proposed to consider what is now A274 as a part of A124 Sim Cluster.

## Structure

The sim cluster is small, made of 11 sims. Therefore, it can downgrade to a Sim Group if it loses two sims. It is currently clearly separated from surrounding unassociated sims or from the giant A124 Sim Cluster.

## Geography

No mountains have been detected, altitude is usually low. The only exception is a tiny microcontinent located in South - East. As sim names suggest, there are some buildings created with some Zen influence. However, this is not the case for majority of buildings and plants found here.

## Sim Examples

* Zen Harmony
* Zen Draconia
* No Place Really
* Caracus Island

A089 Sim Cluster

A089 is the temporary name of a Sim Cluster that exists in Grid Sector E11, in Far Western Ocean. Its Coordinates are: 500-518/1049-1094.

## History

Like majority of large far West sim clusters, A089 has remained almost unchanged between 2013 and 2015. However, even if the sims are almost the same, their content has changed.

## Structure

This sim cluster is one of the orientation points in the West part of the grid. That is because it is large and dense. It has about 250 sims (that is more than any private-owned Continent). Sims are packed together and in diagonal contact one with the other. They don't form a well-structured geometric shape, since there are holes in the structure. It is placed so far to West, that it is in contact with the void ocean.

The former *Trust Microcontinent* (A090) and *Tiki - JK Microcontinent* (A091) were inside A089 Sim Cluster.

## Geography

Skyboxes exist and in many places they double land surface of a sim. Skyboxes appear to have a much higher density then in other places. Geographic features vary from sim to sim. In many places, land is flat and sometimes divided by Water. In that case, islands have a more rectangular shape and water is not always deep. Tropical beach paradise is found in many sims, with low land altitude. High altitudes have not been detected, but there are sculpted mountains (not built by terraforming).

## Land Status

Land is owned by a single estate (or a single estate owner). Land has various levels of fragmentation into parcels, from entire sims to many small pieces. Land With Restricted Access is more rare, but it exists, but Protected Land is also rare. There is available land for sale or rent.

## Sim Examples

* Forbidden
* Torn
* St Tropez
* Surfers Paradise

## Status update

The sim cluster still exists within the same boundaries and with a rather similar structure in February 2023.

A051 Sim Cluster

A051 is a Sim Cluster placed at Coordinates 1173-1179/1167-1181, Grid Sector K11, Northern Ocean. It is placed North-East to Gaeta 1 and Gaeta 5, South-East to LR Sims and North-West to Serena Sim Cluster. It is clearly separated by void from any nearby map structure.

## History

A051 was discovered by SLGI team in April 2013. At that time, it was made of 21 sims.

## Structure

In August 2015, the sim cluster contained 16 sims: 15 placed closer and a 16th one at some distance. They are placed at random, sometimes having contact at their corners, but usually being at some distance.

## Geography

Many sims have elevated land (mountains or hills), with Altitude below 100 meters. Flat sims, if they exist, they are very rare. Water is also present. There are shops and residential buildings. Land belongs to a single estate. There is land for sale (even an entire sim). Land With Restricted Access is rare.

## Sim Examples

* Heart Of Glass
* Palo Verde
* Isla Del Coco
* Bahia Matapalo

## Status update

The existence of A051 was further confirmed during February 2023 survey.

A448 Microcontinent

**A448** is the transitory name given by SLGI team to a Microcontinent identified at Coordinates 768-769/1036-1037, inside Grid Sector G10, Western Ocean.

## History

The microcontinent was identified buring the February 2023 survey. It might be older, but, given its small size, it might have been missed on previous surveys.

## Structure

It consists of 4 sims. However, map images token at different magnification levels show that there were many other sims active not long before the survey.

Land is ranked *adult* and access is limited to certain areas. Buildings are medieval style.

## Sim Examples

* Kingdom of Beauty
* Briar Rose Realm
* Slave Island
* Prince Philips Island

Estate Sandboxes

**A043** is the transitory name for **Estate Sandboxes**, a Sim Cluster composed of 4 Microcontinents. It is located close to A207 - Estate Sim Cluster, Grid Sector M11 and is the border line between Northern Ocean. Coordinates are 1315-1316/1184-1200.

## History

A043 was the 43th grid structure discovered by SLGI team in April 2013 (this is where it got its transitory name). At that time, it was made of 4 microcontinents, each one made of 4 sims. After a few months, some of the microcontinents lost one sim. Later, the sim was recovered and vanished again. The total number of sims varied between 12 and 16.

With the construction of Bellisseria, the Estate Sandboxes have been moved to North-East. Their previous position was inside Grid Sector J9. In past, the sandboxes were used as a borderline between the previous designations of oceans. However, with the construction of Bellisseria, which took a big part of Central Ocean and the movement of a few private continents, borders had to be redrawn.

## Structure

A043 consists of two microcontinents (of 4 sims each) one with 3 sims and two groups of two sims.

## Geography

Unfortunately, access is not granted to everyone, so there is not enough data about what might be found there.

## Sim Examples

* Main Channel Sandbox1
* Blue Steel Sandbox3
* Magnum Sandbox2
* Le Tigre Sandbox3

Commercial Land

Commercial land is a type of Inhabited Land that is designed for commercial activities. This includes shops, clubs, pubs and gaming areas.

## Shops

Shops are fairly common in Second Life. Their size vary from small vending machines that can be found almost anywhere to large sim-wide shops. They might be located on the ground or in skyboxes. Shops come with various displayers where residents can look at the products they want to purchase and look at them.

Shops are always friendly places. They are places that will always allow you to enter, since they want to attract customers. It is highly common for shops to advertise themselves through paid classifieds or on search. You will often notice that shops can be seen on the map as they try to advertise what they are selling.

## Clubs & Hangout

Although not all clubs and hangout areas are making money, it is reasonable to list them here. Some clubs allow for public access, while others are more restrictive and require you to join a group, have an active experience or have a certain age to enter.

There are some clubs that are free to enter, while others will require for an access fee.

Be aware that many of these places have outfit and behaviour protocols. You might be asked to respect them and have a themed outfit.

## Adult Commercial Areas

There are some *adult* themed places like places where pole-dancing is practiced or sex-themed places like brothels. Such places are often a place where money is being spent or gained. Be sure to check maturity rating before visiting. If anything bad happens, just teleport away... or if you are into this, keep close and enjoy.

## Gambling

Some sims are specially designed for gambling. Second Life allows games of skills but bans games of chance. Places like Game Station and other microcontinents are available for those who love gambling.

A455 Microcontinent

This is a Microcontinent located at Coordinates 709-713/1110-1113, Grid Sector G11, North - West Ocean. SLGI team gave it the transitory name **A455**.

## History

This microcontinent was identified in February 2023, but parts of it are far older.

## Structure

It consists of 13 sims and has an irregular shape.

Surprisingly, among the component sims is *Calas Galadhon*, part of the long vanished exposition-themed Calas Galadhon Microcontinent.

Most of the microcontinent is a large sea with islands, appearing to be Gorean Sims. Visitors will often be teleported to starting points which are boats or ships.

## Sims

A149 Sim Cluster

A149 is the temporary name of a Sim Cluster discovered at Coordinates 862-880/1284-1284, Grid Sector H12, North - West Ocean.

## History

According to Gridsurvey, the sim cluster was created around 2011. SLGI team added it to the list in early 2014. At that time, it was made of 51 sims.

## Structure

This is a sim cluster with perfect mathematic disposition. It has no gaps and no estra sims. All sims are placed to form squares and there is an empty sim between each two sims. It has 53 sims.

## Geography

There are two types of sims: white (with sand texture) and green (with grass texture). Sims are divided into small parcels by water channels or by roads (rare) and sometimes by small hills.

## Land Status

This is a residential place. It is not an interesting place to visit, except for a few gardens. People look unfriendly and almost all parcels are closed for visitors. Land is owned by a single estate.

## Sim Examples

* Walia
* Basilia
* Tristia
* Kelia

## Status update

Blake Battle Sims

The Battle Sims of Blake Sea have a different status and are listed as a separate Subcontinent. SLGI team gave it the transitory name **B116**.

## History

They had been created around 2009. A few things changed over time, but they still are here.

## Structure

They are formed of 9 sims and on the map look like a square.

## Geography

The altitude map reveals some unexpected features. There are a few mountains, for example one that exists in Union Passage measures 47 m high.

The subcontinent consists of small and big islands and many opened waterways.

## Roleplay

The purpose of this subcontinent is to recreate naval battles, be then from ancient times or more modern like world war two. Most of the times the waters are quiet, but beware! If a battle happens and your ship is within range, be prepare to fight.

All waters are opened. We detected no ban lines or entity orbs within the area.

A121 Sim Cluster

**Important:** The February 2023 found only Unassociated Sims where A121 was once located.

A121 is the temporary name of a Sim Cluster identified at Coordinates 765-777/1083-1105, Grid Sector G10 and Grid Sector H10, Western Ocean.

## History

Because sims in North are blue, first researches did not find them. So, the sim cluster was detected later.

## Structure

It consists of 28 blue sims (called MultiScene Rentals, in North) and 12 white sims (called YourHome, in South).

## Geography

Interesting is the fact that sims in Southern part of the sim cluater are white on map, while sims in North are blue. The reason for that is that sims in South are tropical beach - themed, while sims in North are flooded. The sims in North are developed on vertical, with many rented skyboxes.

A121 is the only sim cluster where majority of the sims are submerged. However, it is not a place for mermaids.

## Sim Examples

* Ivory SandsYourHOME - South
* Twilight SeaYourHOME - South
* Time Refuge - North
* Dawn Refuge - North

A169 Sim Cluster

A169 is the temporary name of a Sim Cluster placed inside Grid Sector I10, Western Ocean. Its Coordinates are 905-916/1073-1087. Its position is North to Caledon - Winterfel and North-West to Sansara.

## History

A169 was identified by SLGI team in spring 2014.

## Structure

It is made of 40 sims.

This sim cluster is not visible separated from nearby Unassociated Sims. This is done because when *Second Life Geography* team first discovered it, the number of nearby unassociated sims was smaller and the structure was more visible. Currently, A169 tends to vanish between other sims.

Certainly, A169 is not the result of a single estate-owner, but the result of random creation and deletion of simsin the area.

## Geography

Elevated land is rare here. more often. a traveler will find flat land. There is a high diversity of parcels. Shops are present, residential land too and also a sandbox.

## Land Status

There are many estates and many estate owners that own land here, like in Unassociated Sims. Also, there is land for sale. An interesting part is that many sims and parcels have script restrictions.

## Sim Examples

* RainGap Passion
* Gardenia Islands
* Tech Expo
* Mia Islands

## Status update

A169 was confirmed to be active in February 2023.

A027 Sim Cluster

A027 is the transitory name of a Sim Cluster located in Grid Sector D12, North - West Ocean. Its Coordinates are: 475-497/1250-1265.

## History

This sim cluster was far more diffuse in 2013 then is in 2015.

## Structure

It is formed of 10 sims. It is a diffuse sim cluster (sims are placed at some distance one to another) and have a strong tendency for a Mathematical disposition (to form squares on map). It is one of the smallest sim clusters in the area. Very interesting is the fact that it surrounds A026 - Ocean Microcontinent.

## Geography

These islands are tropical beach paradise islands. They are composed of a central island (or more islands), with sand texture for ground, with palm trees, a few residential buildings, sculpted cliffs near the shore and a lot of Water. Altitude is low, a few meters above sea level.

The sims inside the sim cluster are very similar to those on the surrounded microcontinent.

Skyboxes exist.

## Land Status

These sims are owned by a single estate. The same estate owns Ocean Microcontinent.

There is Land With Restricted Access, but evacuation time is generous.

## Sim Examples

* Condor

A073 Sim Cluster

A073 is the temporary name of a Sim Cluster. It is located in Grid Sector E13, Far North - West Ocean, at Coordinates 502-511/1353-1357. It is formed of 22 sims, linked together at their corners. In 2014, it had 21 sims.

## Structure

The fact that the component sims are so compact, makes it more visible on the map. At a closer look, it looks that land has a high fragmentation level into smaller parcels. All sims are owned by a single estate. Many places are composed of beautiful gardens and parks and in many places there is a central lake in the middle of the sim.

An important difference is that if you teleport to a parcel of land for sale, you will be welcomed on a skybox.

## Sim Examples

* Lansing
* Avaron
* Cantana
* Face North

## Status update

As for February 2023, the sim cluster cconsists of 21 sims.

A220 Sim Cluster

A220 is the temporary name of a former Sim Cluster that has evolved into a Sim Group, discovered at Coordinates 851-876/824-832, Grid Sector H8, Southern Ocean. It is a very diffuse sim structure.

## History

A220 was identified by SLGI team in spring 2014.

## Structure

Even if its surface is big, it only hosts a bit over 7 sims.

## Geography

These sims show major differencies, from middle-age themed places to giant shops. However, one thing is common to all: altitude is low. They don't have the same time and the same day length The lack of Geographic features (mountains, hills, rivers) is replaced in some places by vegetation. Not all are opened for visitors.

## Sim Examples

* Misthaven Point
* Laniakea
* Anango Isle
* Lizi

## Status update

The February 2023 survey found A220 to have less than 10 sims, therefore it was re-assessed into a sim group.

A086 Sim Cluster

A086 is the temporary name of a Sim Cluster. It can be found at Coordinates 555-575/914-921, inside Grid Sector E9, Far West Ocean, continuing A014 Sim Cluster to East.

## History

At a close analyze, everyone can see that A014 Sim Cluster is continued to East by a more diffuse structure. Because there is a high difference in sim disposition and density, SLGI team decided that the Eastern structure should be listed as a distinct sim cluster.

A086 had suffered some changes. Some microcontinents were reported in the area, but they vanished at some point.

## Structure & Geography

This sim cluster is very close to the void ocean. If you travel to South, sim density decreases dramatically.

It is a diffuse grid structure, with many sims placed at random and only a few of them placed with mathematical disposition 9to form squares). It is not a clear separation line between A086 and its Western neighbour structure, A014 sim cluster.

In East, parcels are separated by water and form large islands. In West, parcels are not always separated by large obstacles. The sims in West are much more diverse and include also a few shops. The sims in East are more residential.

* Plumeria
* Southland Bay
* Sweet Hearts
* Mountains of Gods
