A needle-like junction near the real axis, adapted from Bert Baron's ocean favorite.
This decoded favorite lands at c ≈ -1.954565 - 0.000010i, almost flush with the real axis. The original ocean-themed preset is too faint at FractalSet's gallery scale, so the atlas uses an Ultra Fractal palette and a reduced zoom around the same center to keep the needle structure legible.

This location lies in the boundary region of the Mandelbrot set, defined by iterating starting from . A point belongs to the set if the orbit never exceeds .
At zoom , each screen pixel represents a region of the complex plane roughly wide — smaller than most atoms on a real object of the same size.
The iteration depth of 2000 means the algorithm checks up to 2,000 times before declaring a point interior (black). Higher values reveal finer boundary detail but require more computation.
