Maelstrom!
"Hoping to postpone the day of Ragnarok (the end of the world, when even the gods shall perish), Thor leads his mighty crew of Argonauts into the dread Sea of Fear..."
Storyline
Thor’s ship approaches the deadly Pillars of Utgard where it is buffeted by strong waves. The Asgardians pull at the oars with all their might but to little avail. Meanwhile, Balder climbs to the top of the ship’s figurehead, dragging a mighty horn with him. The reason for this will be revealed in the next episode.
