Southern Air Temple

Located to the north of the South Pole. The Southern Air Temple was large and peaceful, had an airball arena, and was the place where Aang invented the "air scooter". The massive facility features a sanctuary in which statues of past Avatars are arranged for observance. The temple itself primarily served as a training ground for airbender students and was once inhabited by flying bison and winged lemurs in the days of the original Air Nomads. As a result of being built for and by the monks, several doors and mechanisms are operable only through means of airbending. A statue of Monk Gyatso stands at the entrance to the temple. Unlike the other three original temples, the Southern Air Temple boasts blue, elaborately decorated spires rather than the green, plain spires that adorn the others.
