It supports a small amount of **Arctic Kelp Forest** flora and a bloom of **Eye Jellies**.+ +## Description+ +The Glacial Connection is a deep cave system situated under the larger glacier found in the western section of the map. The cave is relatively compact, which can make navigation difficult for vehicles like the **Seatruck**, though it remains possible.+ +### Eastern Half+ +The eastern half of the biome begins as a large fissure below the glacier that gradually narrows towards the seabed. The terrain is rocky, with patches of flora such as seedless **Creepvine** and **Violet Beaus** dotting the seafloor. + +Illumination in this area is provided by **Radiant Sieve Corals** and numerous **Eye Jellies**. Many Eye Jelly eggs can be found midway through this section. Two narrow passages lead from here to the western half of the biome.+ +### Western Half+ +The western portion is lined with layers of fragmented blue ice and denser patches of seagrass. Notably, this area lacks Eye Jellies. Geological features such as **Hydrothermal Vents**, **Ice Bubbles**, and **Ore Veins** are present throughout. **Ribbon Plants** sparsely populate this zone.+ +Near the end of the tunnel leading toward the Glacial Basin, players will find a ruined **Architect** installation containing one **Ion Cube**. At the very end of the cave, the player emerges into a short stretch of water in the southern portion of the Glacial Basin.+ +## Resources and Lifeforms+ +### Harvestable Resources+*   Copper Ore+*   Creepvine Sample+*   Galena Outcrop+*   Ion Cube (from Architect Installation)+*   Eye Jelly Egg+*   Lead+*   Limestone Outcrop+*   Magnetite+*   Ribbon Plant+*   Silver Ore+*   Titanium+ +### Flora+*   Creepvine+*   Hardy Cave Bush+*   Radiant Sieve Coral+*   Ribbon Plant+*   Redwort+*   Violet Beau+ +### Fauna+*   Arctic Peeper+*   Bladderfish+*   Eye Jelly+ +## Gallery+ +![Entrance into the Glacial Connection](https://wiki.subnautica.com/sn/images/thumb/GC_Entrance1.jpg/200px-GC_Entrance1.jpg?b56cf)+*Entrance into the Glacial Connection*+ +![One of the paths leading deeper into the cave](https://wiki.subnautica.com/sn/images/thumb/GC_Path1.jpg/200px-GC_Path1.jpg?7f0f4)+*One of the paths leading deeper into the cave*+ +![An opening into the cavernous areas of the biome](https://wiki.subnautica.com/sn/images/thumb/GC_Midway1.png/200px-GC_Midway1.png?28725)+*An opening into the cavernous areas of the biome*+ +![A large tunnel within the biome](https://wiki.subnautica.com/sn/images/thumb/GC_BasinCavesLargeTunnel.png/200px-GC_BasinCavesLargeTunnel.png?4b48a)+*A large tunnel within the biome*+ +![A Hydrothermal Vent resting within a depression in the cave](https://wiki.subnautica.com/sn/images/thumb/GC_OreVein.png/200px-GC_OreVein.png?0c9a9)+*A Hydrothermal Vent resting within a depression in the cave*+ +![One of the biome's few Ore Veins](https://wiki.subnautica.com/sn/images/thumb/GC_OreVein.png/200px-GC_OreVein.png?0c9a9)+*One of the biome's few Ore Veins*+ +![A ruined Architect installation](https://wiki.subnautica.com/sn/images/thumb/GC_Installation.png/200px-GC_Installation.png?1f844)+*A ruined Architect installation*+ +## Trivia+ +*   The Glacial Connection was originally planned to be the home of the **Frozen Leviathan**.+*   The biome originally held an earlier incarnation of the Frozen Leviathan before it was moved to the Glacial Basin.
