Hello all. This is great - no highly detailed move orders to go through (yet). 
This is correspondingly a simple poll - we have opted in the build queue thread to build a warrior. What shall we do with that Warrior?
I'd go for the exploration, and East looks like some decent land for a start (although West ain't too bad either). Keep in mind also that we are placed near the South Pole rather than the North (thus the tundra), so the further North we go the less ice we will see.
If we fortify it might protect against any Barbs that the Settler triggers (keyword there is MIGHT), but it might also mean that our Settler chooses less of a good city site than if we had both of them exploring. Remember, we have the option of a second early city with our second settler, and this could really help us. The better terrain we find for placement, the quicker our initial growth.
4 Day poll, it should be clear after a few days which option will be chosen.
