Description
WARNING: Level 2 Cold Hazard
Mavigon is a small rock and ice planet with a thin atmosphere of ammonia and methane. The surface is frozen, and mainly composed of tin with deposits of potassium.
The planet has rudimentary ammonia-based life, mainly concentrated around geothermal vents deep underground. Severe storm cycles are common; due to limited visibility, navigation may be difficult.

Properties
The operational area on Mavigon features a heavy snowstorm, limiting long-range visibility. While much of the terrain can be traversed on fairly even terrain, some areas of interest would require the Mako traversing up and down sheer elevations to reach.
Trivia
- The world's in-game description text in Mass Effect used to say that the cold hazard is level 1, but when actually exploring planetside, the cold hazard is level 2. This is despite Mavigon being warmer than Xawin, which is level 1. Given that Mavigon has a strong blizzard at the operational area, as opposed to Xawin, which is mostly clear skies, this weather difference may be the reason for the hazard's strength. The issue has been rectified in Mass Effect Legendary Edition with the text now reflecting the actual hazard level.
