Glacier Point Cliff Jump

Glacier Point
GalMap Ref: Slege WJ-R C20-0 1C
Surface Coordinates: 3.9530 // 18.843
Located on the Perseus Arm at the southeastern edge of Via Maris rests Glacier Point, a 16km cliff face at the intersection of four glacial fissures, each with a 10km high cliff face. The fissuers collide at Glacier Point with a mountain ridge that runs parallel to the secondary canyon, leaving a steep cliff edge jolting upward from the moon’s surface. The mountain ridges are formed by fault lines scattered across the glacier’s surface, causing eruptions of slicate vapour geysers. The exposed glacier walls in the fissures, have slowly collected dust and dirt toward the bottom, giving the canyon floor a deep blue and green color. Make no mistake, stemming from the fault lines and collected material, the fissure’s floor is a mostly rugged and sharp surface hardly suitable for surfacer reconnaissince. What results, however, is one of the most dramactic views in the galaxy. Moreover, there appears to be low levels of glactic dust or fog at the bottom of the canyon floors, which reflect light off of the glacier’s edges - further leading the etheral atmosphere of Glacier Point.
Upon discovery of Glacier’s Point, Cmdr Parabolus attempted a dramatic SRV jump of off the cliff face. Reaching a max speed of 135m/second in his SRV (486km/hour), Parabolus daringly flew through the air more than 10,000ly from Sol. You may find a video of this cliff jump here:
