Doctor Who: 10 Secrets Of Skaro You Need To Know
6. One Of Its Regions Is Under Constant Sub-Zero Temperatures
As if a toxic lake full of monsters and a race of mutant cannibals wasn't enough, there's also a region of Skaro that lives under constant sub-zero temperatures, giving the planet yet another deadly tool to add to its utility belt of death.
A comic-strip published in issue #77 of TV Century 21 depicts a Dalek flying its spaceship over the Polar Mountains, a series of icy peaks that are so cold, the Dalek notes that its "internal radial heat" is actually starting to fail.
The Polar Mountains appear to be barren and uninhabited - not surprising, given the temperature - with the only signs of life being a trio of strange beings who have been frozen in the ice for centuries. However, they soon thaw out, and start causing trouble for the Daleks.
This same comic-strip also shows us a sandy desert area of Skaro, where the Daleks exterminate the living daylights out of an unidentified race of sand-dwelling creatures. What else would the Daleks do upon discovering a new life form?
