Antarctica

Antarctica is a continent visited in Deus Ex: Invisible War. After the Pangaea supercontinent split, Antarctica moved south, eventually reaching the southernmost point in the World, the south pole. Because of this, Antarctica is now almost entirely covered in thick ice sheets and subzero temperatures. Alex D travels to Antarctica through a teleporter at the Black Gate Ruins, which can only be used by people of JC Denton's lineage. Prior to the Collapse, One of VersaLife's many secret laboratories were located on the Shackleton Ice Shelf, a large glacier that slid out to sea. After JC Denton's failed merge with Helios, he was cryogenically frozen and his body, along with the Helios AI, was hidden on the Ice shelf, not too far from the VersaLife labs. He used Nanites to create his own housing, JC Denton's Sanctuary. In 2072, the Knights Templar, headed by Billie Adams, went to the Shackleton Ice Shelf to find and kill JC Denton. A tribe of sentient, friendly Grays live on the Shackleton Ice Shelf, having escaped from the VersaLife laboratories years earlier.

Locations

 * Shackleton Ice Shelf, a former glacier that slid out to sea and hangs Shackleton.png the ocean floor. One end of the Black Gate ruins teleporter can be found here. This area is patrolled by Templar Paladins in winterized clothing or Templar V68A power armor, and one RB-76 Military bot.
 * JC Denton's Sanctuary - Current hiding place for the comatose JC Denton and Helios AI. Inhabited by various Transgenics.
 * VersaLife Base - A laboratory used to research Transgenics prior to the collapse. Following the Collapse, all of its staff either froze or starved to death, or were hunted down by the escaped experiments. Currently inhabited by Greasels, Karkians, and the old security systems.
