The planet is dominated by polar icecaps and glaciers that cover most of its surface. Uninhabitable icecaps and glaciers comprise about half of this area, mostly in Greenland. The polar icecaps melt, triggering massive floods in Japan. Surtur creates a blazing fireball and travels to the North Pole to melt the icecaps. As the icecaps in the Arctic continue to melt, there are more passageways being discovered. These first global snapshots of Earth's icecaps provide invaluable reference points for climate change studies. Jobe would later rejoin the IceCaps. In late December, Jobe would join the Raleigh IceCaps. From 2011 until 2017, it was home to the St. John's IceCaps in the AHL. Buddy the Puffin was the mascot of the IceCaps. They lost in the first round to the St. John's IceCaps in four games.
