Gaeta 1 map

The Southern part of Gaeta 1 is a Subcontinent. SLGI team gave it the transitory name B124.

The Second Life Geography Institute has an embassy in the area, in Levkoy sim.

History[]

This subcontinent was built in 2008. After the North-West part, the Southern part was the second built. Land was set for sale and was sold with some difficulties. The Northern part of the subcontinent has a finished road known as Sandy Beach Trail. A road was planned to run in South from West to East, but was never completed. As for 2020, trees grew on the road surface. It is still unknown what was planned with the road and what was planned to be built East from the subcontinent.

Soon after completion, land was abandoned in large amounts. This trend was later reversed in 2018 and 2019, when large estates were interested in buying entire sims of flat land.

Structure[]

The subcontinent consists of 81 sims. From them, 16 sims are Protected Land, more exactly protected waterways. 55 are a mixture of Inhabited Land and Abandoned Land.

Geography[]

Altitude map

The subcontinent can be divided in three regions: coastal waterways, coastal plain and hilly terrain.

Coastal waterways. They are located in West. Close to the shores, water is shallow. Ground texture resembles fine-grained high quality sand. There are a few places where small peninsulas or beaches extend into the coastal waterways. There is a gulf in North (Marate), which is continued with many ponds of shallow water.

There is a small island in Milandreya sim, very close to the shore. Not far, on the shore, there are a few trees, fish put to dry and a campfire.

Coastal Plain. This covers most of the subcontinent and has elevation up to 40 m. It is located along the coast. In North, the coastal plain advances far towards East, reaching the Void Ocean.

Hilly Terrain. There are a few hills located far East, close to the Void Ocean. Some peaks are surprisingly high:

  • Lemontal 2 - 82 m
  • Lemontal 1 - 97 m
  • Stereboot - 88 m
  • Vardimorg - 84 m (end of virgin trail)
  • Pilantin - 85 m
  • Mimboza - 61 m.

Most of this area looks like a large plain. Altitude difference is small.

Land Status[]

About 1/7 of this continent is Protected Land in the form of coastal waterways. There is more Inhabited Land close to the coasts, while Abandoned Land is present mostly at some distance from the shoreline.

Access[]

The coastal waterways are opened for sailing. There is a rezz zone in North, in Lastness, where the Sandy Beach Trail reaches the coastline. There is almost no traffic on the waterways. Gaeta 1 has the most quiet waters in all continents.

Ground transportation is made possible along the Sandy Beach Trail in North. The trail is interrupted in the middle, where it is replaced by a navigable canal. It has rezz zones both for cars and boats. In South, the Virgin Path offers a transportation way, only that it has no rezz zone.

In past, it was possible to walk almost the entire length of the subcontinent through parcels of abandoned land. Currently, this is no longer an option.

The YavaScript pods and the SLGI Fleet operate in the area.
