Phendrana Drifts (known as Ice Valley in the Japanese release) is an area on Tallon IV, explored by Samus in Metroid Prime. It is the fourth area that Samus must explore in the game. Located at the southwestern edge of the explorable Tallon IV areas, the Phendrana Drifts are snowy and icy, with some parts filled with water. It is also the location of a Space Pirate research lab. The Phendrana Drifts are home to two bosses, an adult Sheegoth and Thardus.
