Phendrana Drifts is a region of Tallon IV in the Nintendo GameCube game Metroid Prime. The areas Samus can access are primarily outdoors in the snow and ice, though there is a sizable portion of the map dedicated to a Space Pirate research facility. Landscapes are jagged and broken due to years of biting frost and snow storms.

Phendrana Drifts is broken into three sections: Shoreline Area, Glacier One, and Phendrana's Depths.
