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.
