These coordinates are correct. However, if you're horde and decide to ride over there, please keep in mind that there's an Alliance camp near by. Just run around them ;) I almost ran smack into the little camp while watching my map for the location.

Description

Now that we know the exact locations of the nerubian sinkholes, we can collapse them to halt the Scourge offensive and cripple their force. Wind Tamer Barah knows a way to harness elementals to destroy the tunnels the Nerubians are using, but she will require your help. Southeast of the village, near the coast beyond the Frozen Reach, you'll find an area dominated by frozen earth elementals. The hearts of these elements are exactly what Wind Tamer Barah will need.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Scouting the SinkholesBorean Tundra · Level 10-30

    Can you feel the tremors in the earth? The Scourge's nerubians are on the move deep beneath the ground. They've emerged to the southwest in the Geyser Fields, and are harassing the patrols Chieftain Wintergale sent out.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Horn of Elemental FuryBorean Tundra · Level 10-30

    I can fashion the likeness of an elemental from these pieces of inanimate stone, but breathing life into it is different. For that, we'll need help and a bit of luck. Legend tells of an ancient artifact called the Horn of Elemental Fury, sought after by a great hero.
