Would an Arctic Biome be possible?

I was perusing the internet one day when I came across a reddit article that touched on the subject of The Bloop. I had no idea what The Bloop was at the time, so I was intrigued and googled it. For those who don't know The Bloop was an incredibly loud sound recorded underwater in the upper Arctic. supposedly it was just Glaciers running into each other or something, but apparently according speculators the sound was closer to the sound of a sea creature, only it would have had to be many times bigger than anything we had ever seen. So being a huge fan of the Subnautica concept I started wondering how could would an Arctic Biome be. It would more dangerous than usual as you would need to look for breaks in the ice to surface and you would need a special dive suit so you wouldn't freeze to death. And if we were lucky they could throw a new creature in that was specific to the Arctic and would be abnormally large.

Anyway, thats just me spitballing. Let me know what you guys think of that. What would you add or remove and would you enjoy an Arctic Biome?

I think the area we're in right now is a little bit too tropical to have any sort of arctic biome, but it would be interesting as maybe a sort of expansion (say the world was even larger than it is now) and moving to the far north or south would result in finding a colder region.

As it stands as of this time though, not right now I believe.

There is a picture somewhere on the development board that illustrates a potential arctic biome.

There is already a placeholder for an Arctic biome in experimental.

Like, to the west of the Mountain Island.

Ocean currents can do a lot to mitigate that. The area where I live would be 10-20 degrees colder if it weren't for ocean currents warming us up. The same could happen in Subnautica, but then in reverse i.e. weaker currents up north of the map, resulting in a colder climate

All I have to say is that if we ever get sonar and the arctic biome it would make my year if there were one spot where you could get an extremely loud sound. Nothing else, just a nod to a myth. After all my terror has its limits.

THERE ALREADY ARE ARCTIC BIOMES AROUND THE MAP SOMEWHERE

be cool to have icy biome in the depths but like really deep like it is IRL
