Baffin Island

Frozen wilderness base on Earth used as a departure point for missions, tied to cold, remote operations.

Baffin Island emerges in the Red Rising Saga during Iron Gold as a stark frozen wilderness base on Earth, functioning as a remote launch point for high-stakes missions amid the escalating solar system conflicts. Its desolate, icy terrain mirrors the emotional and strategic isolation of the characters who operate from it, highlighting the shift toward Earth-based operations in the later books. The location underscores themes of endurance and secrecy as factions prepare for broader confrontations.
