Ice. Lots of ice. If you go far enough north, you might find rocks. And ruins of ancient cities. And who knows, maybe some kind of undead walk those ancient halls?

Certainly I wouldn't expect to find anyone alive.

Atmora is up there, assuming it really exists and isn't an Elhnofex riddle.

If it's up there, it's frozen solid and there's little to no life on it.

I remember seeing a pic of the Atmoran Giant-king....And there's also an Island of Roscrea and Olenvald/Olenveld...And many many islands. And Krakens. And Giant Mud-crabs.

On the sea of ghosts? Well there's obviously sea ghosts in there, they are the ones who lost Yngol's ship and killed him and his crew. Although I don't know what they originate from.

Though it's 200 years out of date, the http://www.imperial-library.info/content/pocket-guide-empire-third-edition-throat-world-skyrim claims there are a number of colonized islands out there.

Solitude, always one of the richest and most influential counties in Skyrim, has grown ever more powerful, controlling much of the northern coastline following King Thian's alliance by marriage with Macalla, the Queen of Dawnstar. It has sought to expand its influence further by annexing several former Imperial fiefs, such as the island of Roscrea, ruled directly by the Emperor since Uriel V conquered it in the 271st year. It has begun sponsoring exploratory missions even farther from the mainland into the misty waters of the Sea of Ghosts.

By now they're probably either ghost towns, pirate havens or well established forts and villages.

- The sea of ghosts is literally the sea of ghosts. These quiet but frolicking spirits can be found in Yngol Barrow within skyrim.

- Atmora is supposed to be barren of life by this era. But that's not to say that the dead can't walk or talk for that matter.

- Snow whales are missing from Skyrim. However, going by the presence of a snow whale skeleton bridge in Sovngarde..
They're no doubt an established part of the lore still. So one could well expect them to have migrated to the ice age north.

- Atmora, according to accounts, appeared to be under the same government as the one within skyrim during the dragon war.
However, the dragon priests of Atmora were rumoured to be more benelovent than the former dictatorship. Which Ysgrammor's return from
Atmora appears to confirm in all earnest. If dragons still rule there, they could be suspected to follow something similar to the way of the voice.

- Emperor crabs like that of Under-Skar from Morrowind, should well be found in the cold north. If TES continues to follow real world similarities.
One of these crabs appeared in the form of a massive mudcrab and was shown in a GameJam game reel of Bethesda Softworks skyrim week.

- Appearing as Ada'Soom Dir-Kamal landed first on skyrim's water, the akaviri province of Kamal could well be in the same hemisphere as Atmora.
Explaining away the keen weather similarities. And, for that matter, adding a chance for one to encounter a kamal presence in the sea of ghosts.

- While MK is a disputable source for origin- he did make a drawing of Talos Stormcrown bading goodbye to the king of skyrim, whom was a giant.
If one was to think this source as true, this could well indicate a strong presence of giants within Atmora's regions or even on the sea of ghosts.

Source?
Logical conclusion, Castle voilkar is located north of solitude in the sea of ghosts , watch the trailer again, you see the snow area 2 times, the one with the frost giant and the legendary dragon. In a interview Todd said that there will be a big chunk of land added to Skyrim itself, it appears there going to be 2 also, as fort dawnguard is located in a hidden valley in the rift.

none of that except possibly the interview means they are adding on to the main landmass of Skyrim. Volkihar Castle is on an island, and the Dawnguard hold could be in Morrowind or in some other landmass.
