You spawn in Snowy Taiga at y=71, low in a valley where the ground rises at least 40 blocks in most directions, up to about 72 blocks above your feet. An igloo sits about 120 blocks south. The nearest village is a real walk, about 376 blocks southwest, and dripstone caves fill roughly half the underground.
