Ponizovje

Ponizovje is a mangrove swamp seen in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. Naked Snake travels through this aqueduct to reach a warehouse:

South
Snake first encounters the flying platforms in this area. Because he arrives here during evening hours, the platforms have searchlights. If Snake destroys the searchlights, the platform will return to base for repairs.

West
This optional area has an armory, containing an SVD sniper rifle.

Warehouse
Snake must infiltrate the shipping warehouse to reach Graniny Gorki, and later, to head out to Svyatogornyj.

When Snake first arrives at the docks, he sees Sokolov being hauled off by Volgin, along with briefly spotting The Fear, The End, and The Boss.

Trivia

 * If Snake obtains the SVD from the armory before approaching the warehouse docks, he can kill The End before he is wheeled away by guards. Doing so results in a confrontation with the Ocelot Unit at Sokrovenno instead of The End.
 * Packages of Instant Noodles are first obtained here at the warehouse.
 * After meeting with Granin, the Water face paint can be found in the waterway in Ponizovje South.
