Synopsis:
Scientist George Rogers is dismissed from the science academy when he is accused of stealing valuable instruments. Rogers claims to have left the instruments on an arctic island. However, no one believes his story. Rogers hires a crew and takes a ship to find the island.

Aquaman joins the crew even though he knows the island does not exist. As they near the supposed location, Aquaman rescues the ship from icebergs. Aquaman begins believing the story when he finds a lack of undersea foliage under the island's location. He then proves that the island was actually a floating ice island, and it had drifted farther north. Whales drag the island back to the ship. Rogers then retrieves the missing instruments vindicating himself.
