Brookhaven Peak, Madison Peak, or colloquially, Mount Haven, (RoRussian: Пик Брукхэвен, Ro French: Pic Brookhaven, Broc-Heeva: Pal Tuva) is Robloxia's second highest mountain above sea level, located in the Oak range of the Bloxy Mountains. The height of the mountain was 13.9 kilo-studs (3892 meters) millions of years ago. However, Brookhaven Peak was subject to gargantuan levels of erosion as a caldera, and as such, began to reduce height drastically. By the time the erosion settled down and tectonic growth to its stature yielded a net positive growth, the mountain had a height of 5.1 kilo-studs (what is around 1431 meters or 4695 foots).

On January 13, 2022, Robloxians started to disperse rumors like wildfire that Brookhaven Peak might have volcanic activity. However, they were later debunked and proven false when the Robloxia Geological Survey allied with Snopes to inform them that it was not a volcano, and even if it had the capability to produce volcanic activity, it would most likely be artificially induced, as in the recent eruption that occurred on January 6, 2022.

On June 16, 2024, the second Brookhaven Peak "eruption" began, transforming the mountain into a caldera.

Transportation:

Transportation to Brookhaven Peak is complete, with two Brookhaven Transport Authority bus stops named "Brookhaven / Madison Peak or Mount Haven" and "Lake Madison Station", with the latter being closer to the peak. It is unknown why this is the case. Metro rail expansion to Brookhaven Peak was opposed due to unknown reasons.

Government:

Brookhaven Peak is governed by the municipal legislature of Madison Megalopolis. However, the municipal legislature of Madison Megalopolis has no jurisdiction over the mountain itself. Therefore, the mountain has no city government.

History:

Brookhaven Peak has an unknown history; even its formation by tectonic plates is unknown.

Geology:

Geologists have subdivided the rocks comprising Brookhaven Peak into three units called formations. Each formation is separated from the other by low-angle faults, called detachments, along which they have been thrust southward over each other. From the summit of Brookhaven Peak to its base these rock units are the Ave Formation, the North Col Formation, and the Oak Formation.

Etymology:

Native Name Etymology

Native name of Brookhaven Peak used in Broc-Heeva was pal tuva. This term probably meant "holy mountain". This name may be related to the nature worship practiced by the Broc-Heeva. The term pal (mountain or hill) was probably already in use in the Proto-Bloxifornian language, while tuva comes from the older *tye whose original meaning was "morning star" according to several linguists.

Formal Name Etymology

The first half of the name Brookhaven Peak is named after Brookhaven, a town located nearby. The second half comes from the fact that Brookhaven Peak is a peak ^{[you don't say?]}.

Alternative Name Etymology

The nickname Madison Peak comes from the fact that it is located in the Madison Megalopolis municipal limitations.

Colloquial Name Etymology

The colloquial nickname Mount Haven comes from the fact most Robloxian mountains are abbreviated with the word Mount, and then a colloquialism of the mountain's name.

Climate:

The summit of Brookhaven Peak is colder than Brookhaven and the Madison Megalopolis. Due to the mountain not being coastal, but rather in the Big Plains, Brookhaven Peak is a victim of natural disasters, such as droughts, dust storms, tornadoes, snow drifting (the formation of snowdrifts), and blizzards. The most frequent natural disaster that occurs is snow drifting. Temperatures on average are below freezing year-round in Brookhaven Peak, which implies that blizzards can occur year-round. Brookhaven Peak's climate is characterized by a semi-arid climate, with cold summer days, cold summer nights, severely cold winter days, and extremely cold winter nights. Climate data for Brookhaven Peak dates back to January 1, 2021, with an outage from January 6, 2022, to September 18, 2022. The average temperature of Brookhaven Peak year-round is a severely cold -4 degrees Fahrenheit, which is 52 degrees Fahrenheit colder than Brookhaven's average temperature and 96 degrees Fahrenheit colder than Madison Megalopolis's average temperature. Despite the mountain not being coastal, Brookhaven Peak's diurnal temperature differences typically vary between 11 to 20 degrees Fahrenheit.

After the eruption of Brookhaven Peak, the summit has become 24 degrees Fahrenheit warmer. As a result, Brookhaven Peak's glacier-like summit with its renowned blue snow and ice is starting to recede and melt.

Snow Drifting:

The most common disaster is snow drifting. This is when a bank of snow starts to be heaped up by the wind. It can typically go up to 20 feet (21.77 studs) deep on average and usually results in glacial expansion. Glacial expansion is fortunately capped to the higher altitudes, and at the lower altitudes, the glaciers will melt, turning into miniature waterfalls. Sometimes, snow drifts of carbon dioxide are possible with unearthly cold days and nights, but with subsequent warming, it can make it look like that a greenhouse gas emitting plant is within Brookhaven Peak itself.

Recent Climate Extremes

The Coldest Day in Contemporarily Recorded Robloxian History (also known as Dry Snow Day):

First, Some Meteorological Synoptic Background:

In the first half of January 2021, an unearthly severe cold wave hit Brookhaven, causing temperatures to drop at most 128 degrees Fahrenheit below normal. It then moved northeast towards the Kionne Republic, with its intensity explosively weakened so that it could only drop temperatures to at most a degree below normal. When it re-entered the Kionne Republic, it merged with another unearthly severe cold wave, capable of dropping temperatures at most 127 degrees below normal. Meteorologists called this cold wave merging with another cold wave a once in 46 years event and forecasted the next cold wave convergence could occur in 2067, if the averages have taught them anything useful.

Then, Some Information:

The coldest temperature ever recorded in the mountain is -166 degrees Fahrenheit recorded in the newly merged unearthly severe cold wave and the second unearthly cold wave of 2021, which makes it eligible for bragging liabilities that it is colder than the coldest location in Balaska, beating the previous record of -84 degrees Fahrenheit and even the coldest location in Roblox, since it broke the record for the coldest location in Roblox, beating the previous record of -138.5 degrees Fahrenheit. It also was so cold that carbon dioxide sublimated, turning into dry ice, and then fell in the summit, where locals called it "dry snow". The first half of January 2021 also became the first ever time it was meteorologically confirmed that it snowed carbon dioxide in contemporarily recorded Robloxian history.

The Thawing of Brookhaven Peak

On late June 2024 to early July 2024, the summit of Brookhaven Peak started to lose its distinctive snow and ice cover following a lot of consecutive days of temperatures exceeding the melting point of water (32 degrees Fahrenheit). During the entire period, the temperature of the Big Plains was six degrees Fahrenheit above the climatological norm of 1991 - 2020 on the same period amid the June-July 2024 Big Plains Heat Wave.
