Heterocera Atoll was first hinted on the Experience page (login required) on the Second Life website in early February. The famed explorer Magellan Linden reported on his activities through his blog, The Magellan Linden Chronicles.
The explorations resulted in a new continent arising in the afternoon of March 22, 2005. Magellan Linden's last blog entry was on April 1st, 2005, but the expansion of the continent went on without his travel logs. The landmass was completed in early December 2005 and resulted in the continent being nearly as large as the original southern continent.
In late 2006, an independent school of geographic recording, unaware of Magellan Linden's earlier effort, applied the unofficial name "Dualatoll" to this area.
Heterocera sits generally west of Nautilus and north of Sansara.

Geography[]
Although lacking the diversity of Sansara, Heterocera is home to several diverse geographic and climatic regions. From the watery areas of the delta through the broad plains sweeping across the southeastern slopes and leading up to an impressive mountain range, the Atoll provides significant opportunities for residents.
History[]
Over the later part of 2005, this continent became home to many of the "Second Life Second Wave": those residents who learned of Second Life from real life media stories, as opposed to word of mouth referrals from the aboriginal residents.
