Savage Land

The Savage Land is a mysterious primordial habitat within the icy confines of Antarctica. A geographic anomaly, it is vestige of Earth's prehistoric past, preserved by unknown technological means to maintain a tropical ecosystem rich with flora and fauna long extinct elsewhere. Its isolation has fostered unique cultures and species, including tribes like the peaceful Fall People and the slightly more technologically advanced Sun People, alongside dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures.

Behind the stony facades of megalithic structures can be found traces of advanced civilizations that came and fell long before the modern era. Whether the technology is terrestrial or extraterrestrial is a question whose answer has been lost to time.

Before Magneto founded the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, he found his way to the Savage Land and made use of a technological marvel he found there. His efforts to create an army ultimately failed and his creations drove him out of the Savage Land, forcing him to abandon his mad schemes.

After Asteroid M was revealed to the world in 1987, Savage Land Mutates conducted a campaign of terror against known Brotherhood members which ended in the abduction of several human researchers. The X-Men undertook a mission to the Savage Land and rescue the human researchers from their Mutate captors.
