It is likely that when the Earth formed, it was rotating (spinning) much faster than it is today and its rotation axis was perpendicular to the plane of its orbit around the Sun. The impact of a solar body known as Theia altered the angle of the earth's rotation - but what if it were a more extreme axis, so it were tilted at 90°? Read more about how this world would work.

This bundle includes 3 maps:
  1. When the sun is below the horizon for 6 months of the year and all is dark and frozen
  2. When the sun has just come over the horizon as it spirals around the sky to the top
  3. When the sun is overhead at its pinnacle at the height of summer
