The Ark has a habitable surface on each of its | The Ark has a habitable surface on each of its spikes and on the majority of the inner circle, apart from the foundry. This terrain was intended to support cataloged life forms prior to being reseeded throughout the galaxy.<ref>'''[[Halo: Cryptum]]''', ''page 334-336''</ref> These landscapes and biomes are as diverse as those of Earth and of the Halos, including deserts,{{Ref/Reuse|The Ark}} taiga,{{Ref/Reuse|Covenant}} and deciduous forests.<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', multiplayer level ''[[Isolation]]''</ref> Several bodies of water occur across the installation.

Like most Forerunner constructs, the Ark's atmosphere is similar to that of Earth, being mostly comprised of [[oxygen]] and [[Wikipedia:Nitrogen|nitrogen]]. This means that all known sentient species, with the exception of the [[Unggoy]], can survive on the surface without any form of protection. As with the Halos, Installation 00 features a widely varying range of climates. | Like most Forerunner constructs, the Ark's atmosphere is similar to that of Earth, being mostly comprised of [[oxygen]] and [[Wikipedia:Nitrogen|nitrogen]].
