Air Nomad caves

The Red Lotus hideout is a cave system located on a mountainside near the Northern Air Temple. It was used by the Red Lotus to hold Avatar Korra before they poisoned her in an attempt to kill her whilst in the Avatar State.

History
After the Red Lotus captured the airbenders at the Northern Air Temple, they were sent to this cave to be kept as prisoners, guarded by several Red Lotus sentries. After Zaheer defeated Korra, he tied her up in chains in the sanctuary of the hideout. Kai, managing to escape being captured, found the cave after following the Red Lotus on a sky bison, Lefty. He lead Team Avatar, Tenzin, Lin and Suyin Beifong to the hideout. They defeated the Red Lotus sentries who guarded the airbenders and escaped.

Meanwhile, Zaheer explained to Korra that he was going to end the Avatar cycle and ordered a Red Lotus sentry to give Korra the poison. Once in her body, she entered the Avatar State, though managed to escape before Ming-Hua and Ghazan attempted to kill her. Zaheer escaped through flight while Korra chased after him. Mako and Bolin appeared in time to prevent Ming-Hua and Ghazan from following the two, ultimately defeating the Red Lotus members. However, Ghazan, refusing to go back to prison, brought down the structure by lavabending.
