Ice belts can be found in every region of New Eden, but only in specific systems,<ref>For easy reference, see [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/ dotlan]</ref> and each system contains 1-3 ice belts.

This timer | Ice belts can be found in every region of New Eden, but only in specific systems,<ref>For easy reference, see [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/ dotlan]</ref> and each system contains 1-3 ice belts. Ice belts disappear once mined out, and then respawn 6 hours later. This timer does not work across downtime; there is always an ice belt - a new one or the leftovers of a not finished one before the downtime. Also unlike [[Asteroids and Ore#Asteroid belts|asteroid belts]], ice belts are a type of [[Cosmic Anomalies|Cosmic Anomaly]], meaning that they will appear in a different location in the star system every time they respawn, and can be found using a ship's onboard scanner, though they do not require [[Probe scanning|scan probes]] to find. | ||
Like regular asteroid belts, hostile NPCs periodically spawn in ice belts. The rats spawn ~20 min between waves. | Like regular asteroid belts, hostile NPCs periodically spawn in ice belts. The rats spawn ~20 min between waves. | ||
