cryo pod

Hibernation chamber, cold

A cryo pod is a chamber designed to keep a person in suspended animation through extreme cold, allowing survival over long periods—typically for interstellar travel or medical preservation.

The concept appears throughout science fiction: The colonists were sealed in cryo pods for the journey to the new planet.

Also called cryogenic pod, cryopod, or cryochamber.
