The landscape, one might notice, is quite unusual.
In one direction, it's quite normal, for snowy tundra areas. Some mountains, a few trees, occasional signs of animal life. Nothing particularly unusual, except for a red glow in the sky in a completely different direction than the sun.
Then, on looking around a little more, it looks like some of the near mountain faces are... oddly flat. Almost vertical, some of them.
A little more examination shows that this is just the most obvious marker of a very flat strip of land. Apart from snowdrifts, this area seems to be perfectly level.
But, of course, one cannot notice the flat strip without seeing what lies beyond it - an utter void. This side has no mountains, no plants or animals - not even any ground, just an upsetting emptiness. A person looking into it hard enough might think he saw strange, purplish-green sparks arcing through it, but those are even more disturbing somehow. The whole thing practically screams 'stay away'.
