The planet has an Earth-like atmospheric composition that can support life, and ninety percent of the surface consists of frozen seas. The temperature on the surface is like that of Antarctica and its climate depends on its sun which is slightly further from the planet. There are some large ice sheets on the surface. The planet's land mass is under ice. There are some islands on the planet and the planet's equator is slightly warmer. The planet has a squid-like lifeform native to its seas and a flock of pigeons inadvertently transplanted to the Pegasus Galaxy by Atlantis.
