Essos Mountains

**Essos Mountains** is a biome in the «Game of Thrones» mod for Minecraft.

## Climate

In this biome there is a high-altitude zone. The main reason for the differences between the climate of the mountains and the climate of the plains is an increase in altitude and a decrease in temperature at altitude. There is eternal winter, snow and blizzards on the peaks of the mountains. Nevertheless, the frost here is not as severe as in the far north, and you will not be able to die from the cold - negative temperatures are insignificant. Snow never falls at the foot of the mountains in this biome. In summer, there are clear skies and dry grass. Rains are rare. In spring and autumn, the grass becomes brighter because precipitation begins to fall more often. In winter, the grass is taiga-colored, because cold winds sometimes still blow from the north and bring bad weather here.
