Who knew there are Icebergs for Premium Accounts in Second Life? Well, I guess lots of people knew, but I did not. Shame on me!

In fact, it is not even about icebergs really, but I am talking about the ‘Magellan Scavenger Hunt’. Now, I am ‘old enough’ as it were, to have heard and read some stories about Magellan Linden the past years and I knew there is this gridwide search for him since long after he disappeared. But that is about it. Could be because I am just not so much into hunts and quests and all that, but this morning I paid a visit to the 4 sims which are home to the Magellan Scavenger Hunt.

(Note: it is open to premium accounts only!)

It is ice and snow, and in one of the mainbuildings on Crankshaft you will find all you need to know to start the hunt and its many quests. I did not play, sorry…but if you are into games like this and have some hours to spend, why not give it a try?

The sims look nice, bright and white, the buildings are ‘vintage’, which is kind of cute and there is wildlife too: a new breed of Penguins, from the looks of it! When not doing a quest, it is a nice place to walk around and take pictures!

I did some research (OK, I googled…) and found the following links, for those interested in some background on Magellan Linden:
