After months of battling relentless ice, freezing storms, and endless Antarctic darkness, the crew of the HMS Resolution finally turns north in search of refuge. Weakened by the brutal conditions and dwindling supplies, they navigate treacherous waters, dodging towering icebergs and thick fog. As they push forward, signs of land emerge—floating seaweed, drifting logs, and an increasing number of seabirds raise their hopes.  

At last, the jagged coastline of New Zealand comes into view. Dusky Bay, a secluded natural harbor, offers a long-awaited escape from the hardships of the Southern Ocean. Lush forests, cascading waterfalls, and an abundance of fish greet the weary sailors. As they cast their lines into the bay and haul in their first fresh meal in months, the contrast between the icy void they left behind and the thriving wilderness before them could not be more striking.  

This episode follows their desperate flight from the frozen seas into the heart of New Zealand’s untouched nature—where survival gives way to discovery.
