The '''Chozo Ice Temple''' is a religious site in the [[Phendrana Drifts|Phendrana]] region of [[Tallon IV]] used by the [[Chozo]] prior to their abandonment of the planet. [[Samus Aran]] must pass through the Temple en route to the [[Chapel of the Elders]], where she can claim the [[Wave Beam]], and return a second time with the [[Plasma Beam]] to acquire the [[Artifact of Sun]].
 
The uppermost exit to the chamber is blocked by a metal gate with a depiction of a [[Chozo Shaman]] on its hinge.<ref>{{cite|A statue depicting the bust of a Chozo shaman adorns this door. A symbol is carved into its forehead. The translation reads, 'To pass my gaze, seek my twin within this room.'|Scan Data|Metroid Prime}}</ref> Samus can identify a corresponding bust of weakened [[Brinstone]] with her [[Scan Visor]] and destroy it with a [[Missile]],<ref>{{cite|This is a statue depicting the bust of a Chozo shaman. Several stress fractures can be seen running along the surface of this Brinstone object.|Scan Data|Metroid Prime}}</ref> revealing a [[Bomb Slot]] beneath its face. When the Bomb Slot is activated the door leading to the [[Chapel Tunnel]] will open.
 
During her first visit, Samus encounters numerous [[Ice Parasite]]s, but these disappear once she defeats the [[Sheegoth]] in the [[Chapel of the Elders]] and are replaced by [[Scatter Bombu]]s.
 
===Architecture===
The Chozo Ice Temple is a testament to the beauty and meticulousness of Chozo architecture. Among the depictions incorporated into the Temple's decor are Brinstone busts of Chozo Shamans, a [[Chozo Philosopher|Philosopher]],<ref>{{cite|This is a statue depicting the bust of a Chozo philosopher.
