Many [[Andorian]] cities are subterranean, using [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geothermal_power geothermal energy] to warm them in order to make habitation more comfortable. They connected by thousands of kilometers of ice tunnels. The surface is referred to as bracingly cold, even by the [[Andorian|Andorians]] themselves, as the temperature only ever rises above zero degrees centigrade during rare heatwaves. Scientists theorise that it was in volcanic rifts, and in underground pockets near the planet's core that temperatures were high enough to sustain the origins of life. | Many [[Andorian]] cities are subterranean, using [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geothermal_power geothermal energy] to warm them in order to make habitation more comfortable.
