The '''Shallow Twisty Bridges''' is a mostly underwater [[Biomes (Below Zero)|biome]] in ''[[Subnautica: Below Zero]] ''and is the starting point of the game. [[Robin Ayou|Robin]] begins at the '''Crash Site''' and makes her way to the underwater portion of the biome to reach the [[Drop Pod]].

It borders the [[Arctic Kelp Forest]], [[Sparse Arctic]], and the [[Twisty Bridges]].

== Description ==

The Shallow Twisty Bridges appears to be a rather open area, with an abundance of colorful flora and corals. The most notable feature are the [[Coral Bridges|twisting structures]] covered in [[Blue Barnacles (Below Zero)|Blue Barnacles]] that are present across the region. A large canyon in the biome also leads to the [[Twisty Bridges]].

Ice Floes=
[[File:Overview Day Ice Floes.jpg|300px|thumb|A large iceberg in the region]]
The Ice Floes is an expansive collection of icebergs above the Shallow Twisty Bridges, some of which provide shelter to [[Pengwing]]s and [[Pengling]]s. A large overhang can be seen atop the biome's shoreline. Notably, the northern ice wall has strange, unique ice formations similliar to those of the [[Glacial Basin]]'s Ice Fissure.

Crash Site=
The Crash Site is a partially enclosed area of land where [[Robin Ayou]]'s passenger shuttle crash-lands, and where she begins her journey on [[4546B]]. There are two, interconnected routes between it and the Shallow Twisty Bridges, both of which lead to a shore that allows Robin access to the ocean and drop pod.

==Trivia==

* The Shallow Twisty Bridges was originally planned to be implemented as a biome in the original ''[[w:c:Subnautica:Subnautica|Subnautica]]''. However, it was cut from the game early in development and was later repurposed for ''[[Subnautica: Below Zero (Game)|Subnautica: Below Zero]]''.
