History

This island is likely named after the prefix cryo-, derived from the Ancient Greek κρύος (krúos, “ice, icy cold, chill, frost”), which is used in words such as cryogenics, the study of the production and behavior of materials at very low temperatures and the study of producing extremely low temperatures.

Cryo Island was originally located on the Sage Ocean. Currently no inscription can be found, but Tamsin was its designer.

The island featured in the 2008 Halloween events — during the event, pirates who visited the island would be turned into ghosts, and it contained the third hint for solving Vargas the Mad's riddle.
