'''Mount Ihu''' was a snow-covered mountain in the [[Ko-Wahi]] region of the island of {{p|Mata Nui|Location}}.

== History ==
The mountain came into being when the Great Spirit {{p|Mata Nui|Being}}'s camouflage system was accidentally activated during the [[Great Cataclysm]] and created the island of Mata Nui. One of the glaciers on the newly-created mountain covered one of the [[Sun Holes]] of [[Metru Nui]].

When the [[Toa Metru]] arrived on the island of Mata Nui to [[Great Rescue|search for a refuge]] for the [[Matoran]] of Metru Nui, [[Nuju]] explored the Ko-Wahi region and scaled the mountain. He named in memory of his late [[Ko-Matoran]] mentor, [[Ihu]]. Later, [[Turaga]] Nuju supervised the construction of Ko-Koro under one of its many glaciers. [[The Drifts]] were a prominent feature of the Mount Ihu and were the site of Ko-Matoran hunting and trapping expeditions.

[[Kopaka]], after learning of his quest for the [[Kanohi]], traveled up Mount Ihu in order to recover one of his masks. Along the way, he fought a [[Kuma-Nui]], though the beast later fled. While traversing, he was caught in an avalanche of rocks triggered by [[Pohatu]]. The Toa of Stone freed his new compatriot, and the two continued the climb together. After reaching the top of the mountain, Kopaka claimed the Kanohi located there. The two then traveled to the foothills, joining the four other Toa who had arrived there.

[[Takua]], in search of [[Matoro]], entered the drifts of the mountain. While searching, he succumbed to the cold, and passed out. He was later found by Matoro who rescued him and brought him into a cave. Upon Takua waking up, Matoro heard a [[Rahi]] trip his wire and moving outside, he was confronted by a [[Muaka]], and was saved by Kopaka who defeated the Muaka.

Shortly after his transformation into a [[Toa Nuva]], Kopaka was skiing through the mountain, pondering on his own transformation and the separation of the Toa Nuva. As he was attempting to cross a chasm, his [[Elemental Powers]] failed him, plunging him into the abyss. After being rescued by Nuju and confronting his teammates, he returned to the mountain to search for his [[Kanohi Nuva]]. Pohatu followed him, attempting to offer his assistance. A snow storm eventually forced the two Toa to take shelter, where they encountered a Muaka. Working together, the two defeated the beast and searched the rest of the mountain for their Kanohi.

During the [[Kolhii Tournament]], the [[Ga-Matoran]] [[Hahli]] traveled to the Drifts of Mount Ihu to recover several [[Charms]] and the [[Crystals|Crystal]] of [[Peace]] and to train in [[Willpower]] from the Ko-Matoran Hermit [[Kantai]].

After Ko-Koro was abandoned, the mountain's surface was cleared by the reawakened [[Bohrok]] swarms, and was later wiped from existence by Mata Nui's reawakening.
