You spawn in Snowy Taiga, a thick snow-dusted pine forest cut by frozen rivers. The rare find is the Ice Spikes biome, about 250 blocks away, with an igloo about 150 blocks north at (0, -144). Be warned: the nearest village is about 593 blocks west, so early game is long on trees and short on shelter.
