Location Please upload a world map highlighting this dungeon's location.

Dark Ice Mountain (Japanese: くらやみのひょうざん Dark Ice Mountain) is a dungeon found only in In the Future of Darkness, a Special Episode in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky. It is a future dungeon, the first dungeon on Frozen Island (known in the past as "Blizzard Island"). Grovyle and Dusknoir encounter a group of Snorunt talking to each other once they are teleported here from the Spacial Cliffs, only to have the Snorunt prank Grovyle with an ice attack and then run away in laughter. Grovyle (seeking payback) and Dusknoir then venture into this dungeon to find them and the Passage of Time.

This dungeon has two sections, Dark Ice Mountain and Dark Ice Mountain Peak. The lower part has ten floors, while the upper part has four, and there is a waypoint between the two areas. At the pinnacle, the player must face four Glalie and a Mamoswine.
