History
Geography
The island is generally diamond-shaped, with a width of 62 miles (100 kilometers) east to west and a length of 51 miles (82 kilometers) north to south. Its north-west shore is separated from the Isle of Man by the Sudrian Sea (Faarkey-y-Sudragh), a four-mile-wide (6-kilometer) strait.
Sodor's place names are largely a blend of Manx, Cornish, Norse, and English. Culdee Fell, its tallest peak, was modeled after Snowdon, with Devil's Back's ridge resembling Snowdon's Clogwyn ridge. The Culdee Fell Railway, which is modelled on the Snowdon Mountain Railway in Wales, takes you to the summit.
The city of Suddery is the capital and administrative center of Sodor, although Tidmouth has evolved to be the island's largest settlement.
Climate
Due to it close proximity to Carmania, Sodor gets a lot of sunshine, and therefore warmer temperatures in spring and summer.
Despite receiving warmer temperatures, Sodor also has far cold winters that bring snow that arrives around late November to mid-December and stays around until early March, when it is melted by rain.
Being an island, Sodor is very prone to being struck by thunderstorms, snowstorms, and blizzards.
