The Post-Second Impact world |
Antarctica is where Second Impact occurred on September 13th, 2000, when officially a meteorite collided into Earth at Mt. Markham (on Antarctica's Pacific coast, somewhat east of New Zealand). Unofficially, the disaster was actually not caused by a meteorite impact, but by the explosion of the First Angel, Adam. The continent's ice shelf melted, raising the global sea level, and the rest of the landmass was submerged by the sea. All that is left of Antarctica now is a hostile landscape devoid of life, with the occasional pillar of ice protruding through the surface of the red ocean. Not even microbial life survived the explosion from Second Impact: the ruins of Antarctica are now the true "Dead Sea". This is due to the Anti A.T. Field which Adam was briefly able to spread when it was awoken, before it exploded, which destroyed all Lilith-based life.
Prior to Second Impact, the White Moon along with Adam was discovered in Antarctica. This prompted the Katsuragi Expedition which was sent there to investigate, and for Dr. Katsuragi's research into the limitless power of the S² Engine.
