Well this is really neat. As you've probably heard, Skyrim is a massive game. It's even bigger than you think though. A PC player, after discovering a gate-like structure in the southeastern portion of the map, turned on a "no clip" mode to explore beyond the Bethesda-set boundaries. This led to a surprising (and totally awesome) discovery.
It turns out that Morrowind and Cyrodiil, the environments featured in the two previous Elder Scrolls games, are built into Skyrim. There's not much to be found other than low-resolution landscapes, but Bethesda put in enough detail for key features like Morrowind's Red Mountain and Cyrodiil's White Gold Tower to be visible.
This raises some intriguing possibilities. It's unlikely that these landmasses exist solely for the purpose of making Skyrim feel like it's part of a larger world. There are regions, particularly Cyrodiil, recreated with a fair amount of detail that would never be visible from Skyrim's highest peaks.
The player who discovered the content puts forth two seemingly reasonable possibilities on Tumblr (via Destructoid). One: Bethesda used the placeholder environments as a reference point for its modding commuity to work from. Two: these temp regions are placeholders for future DLC.

I think DLC will involve going there, and this is a spoiler for what could have been an epic/awesome and surprising moment. And just a heads up, Oblivion are the gates and Cyrodil is the landmass, (I say this because I hated those Oblivion gates, but loved Cyrodil).

You got the guy trying to get Mehrune's Razor back together and has the "museum" to the Mythic Dawn, so doing something with Oblivion would not surprise me. I need to go back and murder that guy.....

The next DLC/Mod needs to have the ability to tell Lydia to STFU when she whines and says "I am sworn to carry your burdens." I fed her to giants one time because she pissed me off so much.

That honestly amazes me if they really took the time to add other landmasses to the game for DLC purposes later down the road. Here's for hoping there will be some really awesome DLC coming o.o Because a game can never be too epic.

I have Lydia decked out in full dragon and glass armor to protect her... already lost the archer elf..Faendal inside Ustengrav... came back around 10 levels later, to finish the dungeon, and his dead body was still there... Faendal R.I.V.P. ... (Rest In Virtual Peace)

Gates of Oblivion have been closed forever, so I
m sure you won't be venturing into them anytime soon.

I would die if bethesda released Cyrodiil and Morrowind as DLC...

If I have to go into one more god damn oblivion gate...

An hd remake of morrowind with nothing changed but the combat would be awesome.

I like to think that Bethesda isn't done giving us endless miscellaneous quests. DLC must take us beyond Skyrim and into Oblivion.

Lydia, I am sorry for leading you to your death. It was not my intent. I would much rather gaze upon your fair visage than that off the dude with the knot in his beard. I wish I could bring you back to fight along side me and to haul my wares. You shall be missed!
