Some stuff for those who are into science fiction:

Brass Monkey is the only human outpost on Tran-Ky-Ky, a world in Alan Dean Foster's Humanx Commonwealth. It is instrumental in the second and third part of the Icerigger trilogy (OK, the first part covers getting to that place from halfway around the planet). The outpost is located on Arsudun, one of the larger islands on the completely frozen world.

The settlement is described as a mixture of Tran and Human architecture, with an ice-harbour, a small spaceport, an administrative office and some living-quarters.
