You're right it's not a 1-1 recreationg of the UK upside down, much like Orre and Unova and Alola aren't 1-1 recreations of their references, but the general idea is that it's Roughly The UK upside down Which is why the cold place to the far south is explicitly based on the northern reaches of Scotland (See: Tweet a few posts up)

.... so what about the cold place in the north? The great glaciers of *checks notes* Surrey?

Edit: like obv Crown Tundra is northern Scotland, but in general it's a mixed up Britain, not just upside down. See also Edinburgh being right in the middle.

He’s on the highest point of it? Kinda hard to describe but if you find the graveyard there’s a ramp/path behind it that if you follow and keep moving up will lead you right to it.

Found him, thanks. So is completing the Calyrex side quest how you “beat” Crown Tundra (that is, enough to unlock the new tournament), or do you have to do the other Legendary quests as well?

If the latter, how do you open the temples containing the Regi?

The door gives you fairly obvious / dumb hints to figure out. For the two temples I’ve found:

Something about a noise: just whistle by the door
Stone that never ages or something: equip an ever stone on your first pokemon

Haven’t seen the other temples.

-Registeel: Stand in front of the door and whistle (press the left control stick).
-Regice: Have a Cryogonal as your first pokémon.
-Regirock: Have your first pokémon hold an everstone.
-New regis: Have the three other regis in your party, and pick your OC by lighting up their face pattern on the floor (you can see their patterns in the legend journal)

What I haven't figured out is how to find the birds. I've unlocked them via the cutscene and I keep hearing Articuno's cry in random locations (including the village) but I haven't caught an actual glimpse of it.

Where can I find/buy an Everstone or catch a Cryogonal?

Also is the other stuff necessary for story completion or do I just have to do the Calyrex quest?

No, Zapdos can't fly so all it can do is run around but it does get tired so it gets slower and slower.

Spectrier, in fact, does not have good moves. Only one good standard one (Shadow Ball) and another useful as a max move (Mud Slap).

I'm going to choose Glastier because speed isn't the end-all-be-all, Ice types are cool even if they get nominally shafted, it has a pretty sweet move set, and is arguably the best Avalanche user in the game (which is a pet move of mine).

Yeah that’s what I went with. Also do you need to catch the Legendaries (such as the Regis and birds) in order to complete a quest or is just defeating them enough?

I think people are sleeping on the ice horse. It has incredible attack, a good movepool to abuse it, an ability to also abuse it, and is super slow so it works great under trick room. Also it's bulk is more than enough to make up for it's weaknesses, especially dynamaxed. Slap a weakness policy on this thing and go to town. To be fair, I only play VGC, so in singles I can see how it's not particularly stand out.

Jesus I forgot how hard it was to catch legendaries. Cool that I fought Moltres in the rain so he could boost to +6 special attack and hurricane my team to instant kills repeatedly

Yeah I actually think it’s gonna end up being the better horse because of trick room

I think with Calyrex riding them the ghost one is going to be ridiculous when that’s legal though

The only bird I've encountered so far is Articuno and I caught it on the first quick ball.
